expected

Demand: Low inventory level in USA and Europe, and vaccine transportation needs will force some air cargos to be redirected to ocean cargos, so we expect space booking to remain strong

Demand: Vaccines are transported globally via chartered flights, according to IATA report, approximately 8,000 Boeing 747 cargos planes are needed to deliver vaccine the next 18 to 24 months, but only 2,000 planes are currently available

Supply: Lack of containers and labor will continue; freight rate of USA and Europe routes will remain high

Supply: Vaccine transportation will occupy most air cargo capacity, currently 60% of belly cargo is grounded, we expect air freight price to remain high, like the PPE demand in 2020Q2

2021(F) Supply Demand Gap
Alphaliner 3.9% 3.5% 0.4%
Drewry 4.5% 8.9% -4.4%
Clarksons 2.8% 5.4% -2.6%

Demand: Freight rate of Europe routes remains high; some customers will move cargos from ocean freight to rail for the shorter delivery time

The vaccine has just started to be distributed and administered, so international travel ban is expected to continue. China domestic demand will rebound strongly, especially during Chinese New Year and Labor’s Day Long Weekend in May. Unless the pandemic cases surge again in China, the domestic demand is expected to strive.

Supply: China-Europe rail space supply expected to be tight due to air freight and ocean freight cargo transfer

26

Logistics Market Outlook in 2021

To be monitored closely for the second half of 2021: 1. Global Covid-19 situation

  1. Global vaccine rollout progress

  2. U.S. trade policy towards China under the Biden administration If the virus is effectively contained in 2021H2, global economies will stabilize and recover, and we can expect a positive outcome in 2021
