China International Shipping: freight rates in the fourth quarter will be better

Recently, China International Shipping responded to the business operation situation and future prospects.

The company stated that its ocean freight agency business is affected by fluctuations in freight rates, but profits are mainly related to container volume and service chain length.

In the first half of the year, the single container profit of sea freight was about 65 yuan, a year-on-year decline due to intensified market competition and upstream cost pressure.

The railway agency business saw an increase in volume and revenue in the first half of the year, but profits decreased by 67% year-on-year, mainly due to the impact of falling freight rates. Contract logistics is facing price pressure, with a 6.4% increase in business volume from January to September and a 21.8% year-on-year decline in profit. The company's dividend policy is stable, and the dividend payout ratio increased to 54% in the first half of the year. For Sinotrans DHL, the company stated that its services are leading, but due to factors such as the slowdown in import and export trade and cross-border e-commerce growth, the future growth rate may slow down, and the profit level depends on multiple factors.

In terms of air freight business, the company has responded to fluctuations in freight rates by locking in some controllable capacity, and it is expected that demand and freight rates will be better in the fourth quarter than in the third quarter.

According to the company's statement, China International Shipping has experienced stable growth in recent years despite the challenges presented by the global economic environment. The company continues to focus on its core businesses, which include international shipping, logistics, and related services.

Looking forward, China International Shipping is well-positioned to benefit from China's Belt and Road Initiative, which aims to enhance connectivity and cooperation among countries along the ancient Silk Road routes. The company plans to expand its services along these routes, including ports and logistics infrastructure development, as well as freight forwarding and shipping services.

China International Shipping is actively exploring new business opportunities in emerging markets and digital logistics technologies. The company aims to leverage its experience and expertise to provide customers with more efficient and reliable end-to-end logistics solutions.

In addition, some unexpected events or factors may also have an impact on freight rates, such as port congestion, strikes by European and American dock workers, weather conditions, etc. Since the outbreak of the pandemic, black swan events in the global shipping and logistics industry have occurred one after another, and these factors may affect shipping prices to varying degrees.

Overall, international sea freight prices may show a volatile trend in the future, and the specific trend still needs to be closely monitored in terms of market supply and demand, changes in various influencing factors, and the global economic situation. It is recommended that relevant enterprises and practitioners closely monitor market trends in order to make timely and reasonable decisions. Meanwhile, market conditions may change at any time, and the above analysis is for reference only.

China International Shipping remains optimistic about its future growth prospects. The company is committed to providing high-quality services to its customers and to furthering its strategic goals in the evolving global market.
