Transport companies have adjusted to working with the reduced number of containers, while customers have to wait longer for container consolidation. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.easyhaul.com\/blog\/2020\/11\/25\/common-shipping-terms\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The FMCSA<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> initiated an investigation to find a\u00a0 solution to the issue and was petitioned regarding the suspension of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.easyhaul.com\/blog\/2021\/01\/27\/demurrage-and-detention\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">demurrage and detention fees<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> during the pandemic. A seasonal increase in the demand for containers usually coincides with the winter holidays and lasts until the Lunar New Year in China (this year it was on the 12th of February).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The industry can soon stabilize after severe shortages since holidays have already passed. The demand for shipping containers is usually slightly lower in spring, and it tends to bounce back in summer and early autumn when people are more concentrated on vacations and shopping. In addition, container manufacturers have confirmed that they can increase production volume to prevent the issue in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Final Word<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite shortages, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.easyhaul.com\/container-shipping\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">containerized shipping<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> remains the most advantageous option when you need to transport your car overseas.
