STABLE PRICES ON THE ASIA/EUROPE TRADE

Airlines and shipping lines operating on the Aasia/Europe trade appear to be trying to recover the losses they made in 2009, by not only maintaining higher rates but also adding a variety of surcharges.

Such turbulence in the freighht market makes it ever more difficult for importers to plan their future purchases and some stability is required to regain the confidence of importers.

The Albatros Sea-Air Service endeavours to operate within a policy of stable pricing and have made only two effective changes to our core freight rates over the last 10 years; one down in May 2009 and one up in October the same year. Rates now are slightly lower than they were 10 years ago.

 

Regrettably the third departure each week from Hong Kong we added in May has been withdrawn due to changes in shipping line schedules.
