Abstract

Ab der Jahresmitte 2020 kletterten die Frachtraten für Schiffscontainer in ungeahnte Höhen. Die rasch einsetzende Erholung der Sachgütererzeugung und Besonderheiten im Erholungsmuster des Welthandels durch ein verändertes Konsumverhalten während der COVID-19-Pandemie zählten zu den wichtigsten Gründen. Die Verlangsamung in der maritimen Lieferkette und die Suezkanal-Blockade verschärften die Situation weiter. Vor allem die Schiffsroute von Asien nach Europa war von den Preissteigerungen betroffen. Österreich importiert Waren im Wert von 14,5 Mrd. € aus Asien und rund 40% (5,6 Mrd. €) davon über den Seeweg. Aus China stammen davon mehr als die Hälfte dieser maritimen Importe aus Asien. Der Großteil davon fällt auf Kraftfahrzeuge, mechanische und elektrische Geräte (z. B. Waschmaschinen, Kühlschränke), Möbel und andere Konsumgüter. Insgesamt dürften rund 17% der österreichischen Extra-EU-Importe, bzw. rund 4% der österreichischen Gesamtimporte, von der rasanten Kostensteigerung auf den Schiffsrouten von Asien nach Europa betroffen sein. Internationale Prognosen gehen derzeit davon aus, dass sich die daraus ergebende Lieferproblematik im weiteren Jahresverlauf beruhigt und die Wachstumsaussichten für die Produktion und den Außenhandel nicht wesentlich beeinträchtigt werden.
