Log stocks in China have not increased but there is a lot of volume on boats queuing at Chinese ports. Some industry observers estimate log stocks could be over 7m m3 including all the volume on the water.<\/em><\/p>\n

Congestion in China has reached the point where at the end of August approximately six percent (599) of the worlds handy size fleet capacity was queueing off the China coast, PFOlsen reports. This has two effects, high demurrage, and reduced shipping capacity. This congestion has been caused by China authorities reacting to Covid outbreaks by closing ports, delaying berthing, and imposing strict procedures that have reduced ship handling capacity.<\/p>\n

China's softwood imports are generally facing market pressure from slow delivery.\u00a0\u00a0Affected by this, the current prices of imported softwood logs have all corrected. The cumulative price decline in Guangdong is about 80-100 yuan\/cubic meter (EUR 10-13\/m3), and the operating pressure is huge.<\/p>\n

Currently, the price of imported European spruce in China quickly dropped in September after climbing to 175 Euro\/m3. The current price has returned to around 150-155 Euro\/m3.\u00a0However, even so, due to concerns about the demand side, Chinese timber merchants are very low in enthusiasm for receiving goods, and waiting has become the main way for merchants to avoid risk.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
