Shipping in 2020 has been called an "unexpected" year by industry insiders. The reasons for the epidemic have forced many countries into a state of blockade. However, the trade that was once forced to be terminated is "surprising". Because of the pressure of hoarding goods, the shipping market has increased shipments due to changes in policies, and freight rates have increased significantly. continue rising. It is understood that on November 6, an Asian airline company doubled the freight charges for exports to Southeast Asian countries and regions from Shenzhen! In the entire 11 countries in Southeast Asia, the freight rate of dozens of ports has risen across the board.

In the special period when the new crown epidemic spreads around the world, shipping is responsible for a large amount of international trade transportation around the world. After the new crown, shipping has played an important role in ensuring the transportation of civilian materials and the stability of the global industrial chain and supply chain. It can be said that the outbreak of the epidemic has unexpectedly spawned and expanded a number of new industries and new formats, including online consumption, unmanned distribution, shared formats and other fields showing strong potential. Similarly, the epidemic has also acted as a "catalyst" for the shipping industry to upgrade to digitalization and intelligence.

As one of the oldest industries in the world, while connecting world trade, shipping also carries history and spreads culture. However, in the operation of the traditional shipping industry, due to problems such as opaque information, insufficient trust of partners, and inability to collect payments in a timely manner, in recent years, the traditional mail and fax exchanges have been unable to improve efficiency again. Only by advancing with the times can we see more futures, because the logistics of the new era represents the products of the new era, and the application of artificial intelligence, blockchain and other technologies is composing the "march" of logistics in the new era.
