Even though air freight rates are soaring, shipping by air has never been so appealing.<\/p>\n

Covid-19 measures<\/strong> and the consequent creation of bottlenecks in ports<\/strong> worldwide led to severe disruptions in supply chains, which resulted in a shortage of 20ft and 40ft sea containers<\/a><\/strong>. In particular, as a result of a disproportionate rise in demand<\/strong> and because shipping lines privilege dry cargo over reefer containers, these unprecedented circumstances have had a disastrous impact on the reefer sector<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The shortage of reefers<\/strong>, a growing phenomenon that for the most part impacts perishable food shippers<\/strong>, is further aggravated by shipping lines that have grown into the habit of carrying general cargo in unplugged reefers to address the short supply of dry containers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In order to avoid deterioration and significant spoilage of perishable goods caused by congestion at terminals and vessel delays<\/strong>, produce shippers tend to consider a wide range of solutions, from switching the focus to domestic markets to taking advantage of airfreights<\/strong> for express deliveries. However, despite the latter being a winning, life-saving solution<\/strong> for businesses and markets worldwide, a large-scale reposition from ocean carriers to airfreight is definitely off the table<\/strong> due to exceptionally high air freight rates<\/strong> and the scarce availability of air freight capacity.<\/p>\n

Although a substantial portion of fruit, vegetables, and other perishable foods usually travels by air, it is important to keep in mind that producers and packers of low-value goods<\/strong> can\u2019t afford such an expensive mode of transportation without negatively impacting final consumer prices, and therefore need to limit shipping by air to essential commodities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

All things considered, it is hard to foresee a drastic change to the current reefer container<\/a> shortage<\/strong>. As long as the global pandemic keeps on hindering supply chains, perishable food shippers will still need to compete for reefer availability<\/strong>, and Covid-19 vaccines distribution will not make this challenge any easier. In the meantime, as long as reefer capacity remains tight and keeps altering the global market, air-shipping<\/strong> needs to be taken into account both by perishable shippers and airlines<\/strong>, which can take advantage of this situation to tackle the effects of a drastic drop in passengers.<\/p>\n
