CAX北极快航｜首航一舱难求！

CAX 北极快航首航一舱难求！

目前首航舱位已全部售罄，1740 标箱的运力远无法满足当前市场需求。据天津口岸消息，今年北极航线几乎班班满舱。全航季共投入 7 艘冰级船轮换，单船运力介于 1384 至 4890 标箱之间，规模远小于传统亚欧航线大船。受供需关系拉动，当前 20 尺小柜报价 4800-5200 美元，40 尺高柜 8400-9000 美元，较前期有所上涨。虽首航舱位已无，但后续航次仍有争取空间。

Maiden Voyage Fully Occupied, Freight Rates on the Rise

All slots for the maiden voyage have been sold out, as the 1,740 TEU capacity falls far short of prevailing market demand. Information from Tianjin Port indicates that nearly every sailing on Arctic routes has operated at full capacity this year. A total of 7 ice-class vessels will be deployed throughout the navigation season, with individual capacities ranging from 1,384 TEU to 4,890 TEU — considerably smaller than the large vessels deployed on conventional Asia-Europe routes. Driven by tight supply and robust demand, current rates stand at USD 4,800–5,200 for a 20ft container and USD 8,400–9,000 for a 40ft HQ, representing an increase from earlier levels. While slots for the maiden voyage are no longer available, space can still be secured for subsequent sailings.

我们能拿到紧缺额度，核心靠三点：

Key Advantages for Securing Scarce Slots

Our access to limited slot quota stems from three core strengths:

1. Early engagement: We maintained continuous communication with the carrier since last year's trial voyages, assisting clients in planning subsequent sailings well ahead of the maiden voyage launch.

2. Well-matched cargo profile: The route prioritizes exports of the "New Three Items", energy storage products, high-end manufactured goods and time-sensitive e-commerce shipments, which closely align with our long-term client base and earn high recognition from carriers.

3. Flexible cargo consolidation: Multiple domestic ports are available for loading, offering greater routing options.

Booking Tips for Forward Planning

For parties still evaluating the route, here are three practical recommendations:

1. Book slots as early as possible. Tighter space and higher rates are expected later in the season; early booking is the reliable way to lock in freight costs.

2. Verify cargo suitability. Cargo bound for Continental Europe should accept transit via the UK. This route is not recommended for shipments to Southern Europe.

3. Prepare all required documentation in advance for lithium battery cargo to avoid missing confirmed slots due to last-minute document amendments.

Zhejiang Seaport Logistics Group Co., Ltd. will keep tracking updates on all upcoming sailings. Feel free to contact us for booking inquiries.
