Ocean and air shipping rates are anything but stable due under capacity with frequent adjustments and readjustments to rates.
Demand for air cargo has been created by the need to replenish low inventory levels and meet huge demands. Shippers are being forced to shop around like never before!

Diverting Ocean shipping with Air Import
- Ocean shipping delays are impacting retailers with transit times from China to Canada and USA more than doubling in many cases.
- Industry experts do not expect the ocean shipping capacity will normalize until capacity comes on line in the next 2 years.
Higher Ocean Rates with Higher Demand
While the main ocean carriers have increased rates, availability is the key issue for shippers and consignees. Contact Jet for a quote on ocean shipping from China to Canada.
All Cargo Passenger Flights Adding to Capacity
Global air cargo capacity is down due to cancelled passenger flights. However, carriers, including Air Canada are operating all-cargo flights per week including Boeing 777 aircraft that have had over 400 seats removed to make space for additional cargo.
- Delta Airline operates Detroit-Incheon-Shanghai and Los Angeles-Incheon-Shanghai several times a week via Airbus 350-900 aircraft capable of carrying over 40 tons o of cargo.
- American Airlines plans offers over 90 cargo only flights.
All cargo passenger jets but overworked freighters.
Over the past couple of months, most all cargo aircraft freighters have done as many block hours as they did over the whole of last year. This will require unexpected maintenance which will drop capacity that passenger charters can hopefully carry.
Cargo Revenue versus passenger
The all cargo flights from airlines are hardly a panacea for their over all loss of revenue. For most passenger carriers, revenue from air cargo is usually less than 3% of total revenue but this also represents a huge opportunity and repositioning for carriers.
China’s new ‘gate-in’ rule
In order to better manage cargo congestion at Shanghai PVG and other major airports, Chinese authorities have issued a new directive mandating that cargo cannot arrive more than 28 hours before a flight.
Shippers had been sending cargo earlier to better manage PPE Customs Inspections. PVG was overloaded with shipments causing urgent shipments to be delayed and all cargo aircraft to leave empty. The 28 hour rule applies to all China's airports and requires cargo booking advice to gate-in the cargo. The rule creates a big challenge for air freight carriers.
