Recently, the freight rate in the international shipping container market has risen sharply. There is a saying that "it is difficult to find a box".

In this regard, sun Wenjian, spokesman of the Ministry of transport and head of the policy research office, responded at a press conference held by the Information Office of the State Council on the 26th. With the release of China's new container production capacity and the acceleration of empty container turnover, according to major liner companies, the shortage of empty containers has been basically alleviated.

Sun Wenjian said that in the next step, the Ministry of transport will continue to work with the Ministry of Commerce and other ministries and commissions to implement relevant measures to stabilize foreign trade and ensure the smooth flow of the international logistics supply chain.
