Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided 2. Core Viewpoints - The market expects a concentrated rush to ship before April 1st, which will advance the export volume of photovoltaic modules after April next year. Subsequently, this part of the export volume will decline. The rush to ship may temporarily alleviate the post - holiday decline in freight rates, but it is difficult to benefit most shipping companies, and a price war in the off - season is inevitable. The main contract is supported in the short term, but the benefits of the rush to ship need to be verified. As the subsequent export decline leads to a contraction in cargo volume, the futures market is more suitable for positive spread operations. The recommended strategy is to wait and see [7]. 3.

YML quoted 2600 dollars/FEU from January 16th to 22nd, lower than OA and MSC, and did not follow Maersk's price cut for the time being. MSC's quote in the second half of January was 2840 dollars/FEU, the same as in the first half, and did not follow Maersk's price reduction [6]. 3.4 Impact of Policy Adjustment on the Shipping Market - The State Taxation Administration issued an announcement on adjusting the export tax - refund policy for photovoltaic products. Currently, China exports an average of 35,000 - 40,000 TEU of photovoltaic modules to Europe per month, accounting for about 5% of the total export volume on the European route. It is estimated that before April 1st, the cargo volume on the European route will increase by about 30,000 TEU due to the rush to ship, which is expected to consume the capacity of two 15,000 - TEU ships. After April, third - party institutions predict that the monthly freight volume on the European route will decrease by 3000 - 4000 TEU, accounting for about 0.4%, putting pressure on the demand for far - month contracts [7].
