South Korean exporters are expected to suffer from soaring freight rates throughout next year as leading shipping firms reduce business due to the pandemic while the US and China push up demand.
Demand for shipping services is set to rise over the remainder of 2020 due to higher demand during the Christmas season and other promotional events by retailers.
Air shipping services may get more costly next year if mobilized to deliver COVID-19 vaccines.
