According to reports, a whole ship of Japanese used cars transported from Japan to Russia at the end of 2021 turned into a ship of ice after arriving at a Russian port. It is reported that the Nissan car on the transport ship has been frozen with 15 cm thick ice, because it is firmly frozen by the ice cubes and it is impossible to distinguish between different models, so it can only smash the ice cubes, but the cars after being forcibly squeezed by the ice cubes have long become scrap iron.
A Nissan car frozen in ice
As we all know, Nissan cars are cost-effective and of good quality, have won a good reputation in the international market, and are also favored in the Russian foreign trade market, so Russians voluntarily spend a sum of money every year to buy used cars imported from Japan, but imported cars need to come from Japan across the ocean, so they need to wait for dozens of days. However, coinciding with the cold climate and the impact of the new crown epidemic, the single Nissan used car business in 2021 came relatively slowly, which also made Russian buyers feel very anxious, but the goods after arriving at the Russian port stunned the people in the audience.
As can be seen from the photo, all the cars on the transport ship are attached to thick ice cubes, forming a layer of ice 15 centimeters or more thick. It should be known that after the car is blocked by ice, the unloading is small, and the performance of destroying the car is large. After all, the body of the car is extremely susceptible to the squeeze of ice after being attached to the ice, all the parts of the interior and exterior of the car will also rust, and all the electronic equipment in the car is almost damaged, which is equivalent to all the cars on the deck facing scrap.
But the unloading work still has to continue, in order to distinguish between different models can only rely on crowbars or defroze agents to cut open the thick ice attached to the surface of the car, breaking, so many cars can not withstand the heavy blow after the scrap on the spot, but if you do not take action, in time to melt the car, then next spring, Nissan used cars are more difficult to buy, the loss will be greater.
The cause of this phenomenon
What puzzled Russian buyers was why a good car turned into ice after shipping, and the captain explained: the delivery time of the goods was December, coinciding with the cold weather due to the influence of the climate, the temperature of the sea level was lower than the temperature of the land, coupled with the bone-chilling sea breeze, the strong waves, layer by layer lapping on the deck, so the waves on the ship, the sea water formed layers of thick ice in the bone-chilling sea breeze, so this scene appeared. But this year's waves and temperatures are more brutal than usual, and the ice will be thicker.
Such videos and photos have also been transmitted to the network platform, and many netizens have sighed: a good car has become frozen and fresh after shipping. But no matter what the end is, we hope that these second-hand cars can be well handled and do not be scrapped, after all, money is not easy to come by during the new crown epidemic.
In fact, this single cargo is also not easy to come by, after all, affected by the extreme weather in the past two years and the new crown epidemic, the operation and development of the international trade market and the maritime market are already sluggish, and the economic development of the international community has also suffered different degrees of heavy blows, and the operation of the maritime market has been more impactful.
International maritime market
The economic situation of Christmas in the United States in 2021 is much bleaker than in previous years, the goods piled up in the Us ports are not handled, resulting in difficult transportation in the international trade market, the international trade market has also reduced the number of orders sent for many reasons such as the new crown epidemic, etc. The maritime market as an important lifeline of international trade transportation undoubtedly affects the development of trade in the international market.
Therefore, controlling the epidemic situation and maintaining the ecological balance is a crucial task at present.
