由 jpichiban 日本海事中心的数据显示，2024年上半年，亚洲至欧洲的海上集装箱运输量同比增长7%，达到874万6764个标准箱，创历史新高。由于中东局势紧张，航线绕行，运输时间延长，导致货主增加库存，推高了运输需求。其中，大中华区出发的运输量同比增长10%，占总运输量的近8成。东南亚同比增长1%，东北亚同比下降8%。欧盟从中国的进口量也超过上年，包括机械类、家具和床上用品、钢铁制品等。6月亚洲至欧洲的海上集装箱运输量同比增长8%，连续16个月同比增长。

Summary: According to data compiled by the Japan Maritime Center (Tokyo’s Chiyoda Ward), the volume of sea container shipments from Asia to Europe in the first half of 2024 (January-June) increased by 7% year-on-year to 8,746,764 TEU (twenty-foot equivalent units), setting a new record high for the first half of the year. Due to heightened tensions in the Middle East, many container shipping companies have canceled sailings through the Red Sea and Suez Canal, key routes connecting Asia and Europe, since December 2023. This has resulted in longer transit times and disrupted schedules, prompting shippers to secure larger inventories, pushing up shipping volumes.
From a loading area perspective, Greater China (mainland China and Hong Kong combined), which accounts for nearly 80% of the shipping volume, saw a 10% year-on-year increase in shipments, reaching 6,744,362 TEU. Southeast Asia saw a 1% year-on-year increase to 1,141,032 TEU, while Northeast Asia, including Japan, saw a decrease of 8% to 861,361 TEU.
As a reference, the Japan Maritime Center has compiled statistics on imports from China to the 27 countries of the European Union (EU). Cumulative data for January-May shows that imports of machinery, furniture and bedding, steel products, and others exceeded those of the previous year.
In June, sea container shipments from Asia to Europe increased by 8% year-on-year, reaching 1,591,017 TEU. This marks a year-on-year increase for the 16th consecutive month. Shipments from Greater China increased by 11%.
