Recently, the international logistics market has witnessed a sudden surge in freight rates.

 

According to the Freightos Baltic Index (FBX) compiled by the shipping platform Freightos, sea freight rates have skyrocketed from around $1,200 per TEU at the beginning of the year to nearly $4,500 per TEU, an increase of over 30%, setting a new historical high.

 

With logistics costs continuously rising, reducing shipping expenses and securing more favorable payment terms for logistics costs has become a critical focus for everyone in international trade. How can PhotonPay help you improve capital efficiency and boost your company’s profit margins through the use of the Photon Card? Let’s take a closer look.

 

What processes does goods transportation go through?

 

Divided into stages, the entire process of cross-border logistics can be summarized in 9 steps: Seller ships goods → Domestic transportation → Domestic warehousing services → Export customs clearance in the country of origin → Transportation → Import customs clearance in the destination country → Inland transportation in the destination country → Overseas warehousing services → Delivery to the buyer. Among these, the procurement of transportation and delivery capacity is the most valuable part of the entire chain, often accounting for over 50% of the overall cost.

 

The continuous rise in transportation costs has placed a heavy burden on downstream foreign trade companies. In response to the escalating prices, many shippers, eager to avoid further cost increases, have rushed to ship goods in advance, leading to a surge in transportation demand and exacerbating the imbalance between supply and demand for shipping space.

 

In critical moments, the speed of settlement with suppliers at each stage is directly related to whether a company can maintain its competitive edge in a highly competitive market. Quick payment is not only a winning strategy for foreign trade companies in the race against time but also an essential safeguard for maintaining supply chain stability.
