Agreed, however this all started long before CNY and is continuing long after.
Speaking as someone working in the forwarding industry, I repeat what I have said before. Importers and Exporters are trying harder to make sure they can ship by sea as it is cheaper and with the pressure on the bottom line they need to avoid the higher costs of flying freight.
So yes this was going on before CNY and will carry on for sometime yet until the economy improves.
Freight in general is down as we are told monthly and I would be surprised if this changes in the near future. It is not solely a factor on the HKG route. However it will always drop in the couple of months after CNY as it has done historically.
