Ocean Freight Keeps Rising!!
BAD NEWS!! Again the ocean freight is experiencing another increase taking place on the 1st of May. In attached articles from The Journal of Commerce we can see the notice from TSA lines on rate increase during the new contracts negotiations.
Cosco and Hanjin being among the 15 lines in TSA have already agreed to the increase with full confidence of return profit to 2010.
As you are already aware that as of March the increase per container has being close to almost 2,000.00 per container after the increases that took place in Dec., Jan. and Feb.
Some of the increases that TSA has announced that will affect us are as follows:
To East Coast:
20' 800.00 Dry
40' 1000.00 Dry
To West Coast:
20' 640.00 Dry
40' 800.00 Dry
Within this articles also an explanation of why our shipments are taking longer to reach our destinations. This is due to the continuing of “Slow Steaming” which is another of the strategies that the steam ship lines are using in order to increase fuel efficiency and lower emissions.
This is also limiting capacity on board and causing delays to our shipments. The real bed part is that right now we are paying more because of the increases and because of the availability of space but our shipments are taking longer time to arrive. AWFUL!!

Import News
Global Trade Increased Broadly in November
January 12, 2010
U.S. trade with other countries increased broadly in November as imports outpaced exports, widening the trade deficit by $3.2 billion.
The U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, through the Department of Commerce, announced Tuesday that total November exports of $138.2 billion and imports of $174.6 billion resulted in a goods and services deficit of $36.4 billion, up from $33.2 billion in October, revised.
November exports were $1.2 billion more than October exports of $137 billion. November imports were $4.4 billion more than October imports of $170.2 billion.
Compared with a year earlier, imports and exports were significantly lower. Exports were down $3.3 billion, or 2.3 percent, and imports were down $10.1 billion, or 5.5 percent. In November, the goods and services deficit decreased $6.8 billion from November 2008.
The October to November increase in exports of goods reflected increases in foods, feeds, and beverages ($1.3 billion); automotive vehicles, parts, and engines ($700 million); and capital goods ($400 million). Decreases occurred in consumer goods ($700 million), industrial supplies and materials ($500 million), and other goods ($400 million).
The October to November increase in imports of goods reflected increases in industrial supplies and materials ($2.1 billion), consumer goods ($1.4 billion), and capital goods ($1.2 billion). Decreases occurred in foods, feeds, and beverages ($200 million) and automotive vehicles, parts, and engines ($100 million). Other goods were virtually unchanged.
