Suddenly! China cancels 12 container ships destined for Brazil! Contact your consignee quickly!


The pace of the Northern Hemisphere epidemic is gradually slowing down. Britain, France, Germany and other European countries have successively announced unblocking measures. As the southern hemisphere is about to enter the winter, the epidemic situation in Latin America is becoming more serious.



Recently, Brazil has increased nearly 100,000 cases in about two weeks, and the death toll has even exceeded 10,000. The Brazilian economy has been greatly affected.



The country ’s economy was forced to slow down, and 12 container ships from China to Brazil were cancelled between May and July.




Freight forwarders who have trade relations with Brazil recently, please pay more attention.



According to data released by the Brazilian Ministry of Health, in the past 24 hours, there were 9258 newly diagnosed cases in Brazil, with a total of 178214 cases; there were 881 new deaths, which was the highest record in a single day, with a total of 12461 cases. Brazil ’s rapid increase in cases over the past few days is worrying.



Facing the severe epidemic situation, the country's President Bosonaro has been busy with the state governors in the epidemic prevention policy. Not only did he call the new coronary pneumonia a "simple cold", he also took the lead against social isolation measures and insisted on "economic priority".

According to the survey results provided by Brazilian business consulting company Solve Shipping, in the next few months, Brazil will lose 19% of the container shipments from Asia to Brazil.



Of the 12 container ships that are known to be canceled, 2 originally arrived in May, 7 originally arrived in June, and the last 3 originally arrived in Brazil in July.



According to Leandro Barreto, a partner of the business consulting company, the fundamental reason for the cancellation of container shipping is the severe epidemic in Brazil, the decline in economic activity, the recent heavy hits in industry and retail, and the reduction of large domestic orders.



The decline in exports from China to Brazil has caused Brazil to reach a bottleneck in exports. The number of ships destined for Brazil has decreased, the country lacks vessels and containers, and Brazilian exporters will face great risks.

With the appreciation of the US dollar against the real currency, Brazilian companies engaged in overseas exports have to increase costs in order to compete for more container export transportation space. Many importers' import and export willingness began to decrease. At present, there are still containers in Brazilian ports Backlog phenomenon.




For example, in the port of Localfrio in Santa Catarina, the number of containers increased by 30% between February and March.



The situation of the China-Pakistan transport route is worrying, but Barreto said that other routes remain stable. In addition to the cancellation of the 12 container ships, in the next three months, three cargo ships will arrive on the Brazilian coast: two from the east coast of the United States and one from the west coast of South America.



During the epidemic prevention and control period, the vast majority of enterprises have been hit hard, affecting all walks of life. Here, Xiaoyun reminds friends of freight forwarders and cargo owners who have recently traded with the country to pay attention to the risk of receipt and shipment. Beware of the disappearance of the destination Hong Kong buyer, so as not to affect the shipment and cause losses.
