2024 预计将是破纪录年，预计将新增 300 万件标准箱运力入市。运力供应过剩和需求低迷导致市面上的运力严重过剩。2024 年德鲁里供需指数预测为 74.3，这是有史以来报告的最低德鲁里供需指数。参考：100 是“市场均衡”基准。该值超过 100，即表明供过于求。这种供需环境可能导致运价水平较低，通过 <anchor>停航</anchor>、慢速航行、调整航线供应和频率等方式改进承运人运力管理，以尝试将运价提高至可使承运人保持盈利的水平。3

# Blank Sailing

## What is a Blank Sailing?

When an ocean carrier cancels or skips a scheduled port of call or region in the middle of a fixed rotation, that route is considered a Blank Sailing (also called a Void Sailing).

Blank Sailings are generally caused by shifting market dynamics. For example, in times of low demand for space on a vessel, carriers can blank sailings to reduce their available capacity by consolidating shipments, helping them keep rates stable.

In addition, a carrier may decide to plan a blank sailing if bad weather, port congestion, or other situations cause delays that impact shipping schedules. And if there isn’t much freight to pick up or drop off at a particular port, or if equipment availability there is low, a carrier may schedule a blank sailing to pass up that port and quickly reposition the ship on a more in-demand portion of the lane.

Blank sailings can present obvious challenges for shippers. If your goods were planned for loading or unloading at a skipped port, you will have to arrange alternate transportation to move the goods to/from a new port, which will require additional expense and may delay the arrival of the cargo. And for temperature controlled or perishable goods, a blank sailing can mean the total loss of your shipment.

Shipping companies do make efforts to inform customers ahead of time if they are planning to blank a sailing, and your cargo will generally be loaded onto the next available vessel (which in most cases won’t be too far away), but you get some reassurance from maintaining a supply of “emergency” stock and having a good backup plan for alternate transportation in the event your shipment is affected by a blank sailing.

Note: When a vessel’s entire voyage is cancelled, we call this “blanking the string”.
