Similar to last year, the industry is facing a significant drop in import volumes following the Golden Week holidays in China in the beginning of October. This is best demonstrated by a high number of blanked sailings from Asia, adjusting the Ocean Liner capacity to better match the volumes, the company said in its press release.
Following these adjustments made by the ocean carriers, Unifeeder also have to adapt to the market conditions and Unifeeder hence plan to reduce its capacity from November while still doing our utmost to uphold its customer commitments.
To ensure smallest possible impact on our service, Unifeeder will maintain minimum one weekly call in all wayports within the period, meaning that changes are planned to take place in ports that have two or more weekly calls today. Changes will be done by reducing frequency and/or consolidate more ports on existing loops, which may cause changes in transit time.
