Many Shenzhen freight forwarders went bankrupt! The list of detained containers is released!

It is the peak season for foreign trade and a time of troubles in logistics. Not long ago, it was reported that a freight forwarder in Yiwu went bankrupt and the person in charge may have absconded with 14 million yuan.

However, before one wave of troubles is over, another wave of troubles arises. Just recently, the news that a Shenzhen freight forwarder went bankrupt and ran away caused heated discussions in the industry.

It is learned that according to the latest news in the industry, a US-based dedicated logistics company in Shenzhen went bankrupt and owed a large amount of payment for goods. Currently, a large number of cargo owners are seeking redress.

It is reported that the logistics company has basically collected containers from its peers. Among them, there are overseas warehouses whose goods have been detained by the US Customs. At present, they are owed money by the logistics company, and a large amount of goods are detained in the warehouse. Since it is difficult for overseas warehouses to cash in goods, some overseas warehouses choose to contact the owners, and the owners directly pay the fees to complete the subsequent delivery.

As the freight forwarder involved ran away, many cargo owners were faced with a dilemma: either to advance the money to redeem the goods or to have the goods detained at the customs. Especially during the peak season, some sellers' shipping rhythm was disrupted, and the detained containers are still "uncertain about their fate".

Another victim revealed that 5 containers + 40 cubic meters of goods in his Oakland overseas warehouse were detained, 7 containers in Los Angeles and 13 containers at the port were detained. "We don't know how many more are floating on the sea at present," the owner said helplessly.

According to the container list provided by the victim customer, the following container numbers are mainly involved:

1. CCLU7475904

2.OOLU9319280

3. CBHU9167011

4.XYLU8156085

5.WHSU5019221

6.WHSU5825778

7.WHSU5162084

8.TRHU6671453

9. GCXU5470484

10. HSU5623870

11.XYLU8222757

12.WHLU5603918

According to industry reports, the current bankruptcy incidents mainly involve three logistics companies: Shenzhen Chang*wei* International Supply Chain Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Zhongda*tong Supply Chain Management Co., Ltd., and Shenzhen Ze*you* International Logistics Co., Ltd.

According to AiQiCha data, the legal representatives of Shenzhen Chang*wei* International Supply Chain Co., Ltd. and Shenzhen Ze*you* International Logistics Co., Ltd. are both named Xiong, who is associated with a total of 5 companies.

At present, the logistics company involved has run away, and the road to recovering the payment for the goods is full of difficulties. Moreover, it is difficult for the overseas warehouse to complete the subsequent delivery process without receiving the payment.

Industry insiders have provided the following solutions:

1. Any cargo owner who assigns goods to the logistics company involved, if willing to pay for the goods, can contact the overseas warehouse to make payment to complete the delivery.

2. Any seller who is willing to pay for the goods, please contact the overseas warehouse, and we can guarantee delivery after payment.

3. Even if you have paid the freight before, but need to pay again to redeem the goods, after delivery, you can contact Daxin Legal for free legal support, sue the receiving logistics company, and recover the duplicate freight.

The continuous freight forwarding bankruptcy incidents can, to a certain extent, also reflect the arduous challenges faced by the freight forwarding industry in the current environment.

Once upon a time, the legend of Shenzhen Bay No. 1 luxury house was transferred from Amazon sellers to freight forwarders. The supply-demand-deficient container shipping market was brought to a false prosperity by the fanatical demand: soaring freight rates, shipping companies making a lot of money, and freight forwarders reaping the benefits.

However, with the collapse of the bubble, many freight forwarders who took advantage of the trend have returned to the situation before liberation, stirring up the muddy water of the industry amid fierce competition and involution. In order to grab limited market share, chaos such as soliciting cargo at low prices and illegal declarations have become increasingly rampant.

As the container shipping market cools down, the freight forwarding industry is facing multiple challenges such as reduced orders and sluggish demand, as well as many operational pain points such as tight funds.

Recently, there have been reports that many freight forwarders have issued reminder letters to their customers, requiring them to pay for the goods in a timely manner.

One of the freight forwarders said that in view of the current severe shipping market situation, shipping companies' freight rates have continued to rise, and the general freight rate has approached US$8,500. The company's monthly bulk cargo and full container volume has exceeded 600, which has affected its operations.

For this reason, the freight forwarding company issued a notice, urging all customers to make payments on time according to the agreed time to avoid unnecessary disputes and losses:

1. Cargo detention measures:

For customers who fail to pay on time, all goods in warehouses at home and abroad will be detained. All expenses incurred in this process, including but not limited to storage fees, demurrage, handling fees, etc., will be borne by the customer in full.

2. Cancellation of Account Period:

In view of the current market environment and payment pressure, we have decided to cancel the existing payment period for customers who cannot pay on time. Customers must complete the payment within the specified payment period to ensure the smooth progress of cooperation between the two parties.

Another freight forwarding company also stated that ocean freight rates have continued to rise recently. The head-leg costs have soared and shipowners have cancelled the original settlement method, which has increased the pressure on the head-leg. In addition, the prepaid costs for the last leg have also continued to rise.

To this end, the freight forwarding company has made adjustments to its business collection work. On the one hand, the company's finance department will issue freight bills within the specified time every month. On the other hand, for customers who fail to pay in time, the existing account period will be cancelled, and corresponding measures will be taken if necessary. Any losses incurred will be borne by the customers themselves.

It can be seen that freight forwarding companies are generally facing extremely severe operating pressure under the pressure of the container shipping market. Under this circumstance, a healthy and sufficient cash flow is undoubtedly a solid guarantee for sustainable operation.
