I roto i tana Arotakenga o te Waka Moana mō te tau 2021, i kī te Huihuinga Hokohoko me te Whakawhanaketanga o te Kotahitanga o ngā Whenua o te Ao (UNCTAD) mēnā ka mau tonu te pikinga o ngā utu utanga ipu, ka piki ake pea ngā taumata utu kawemai o te ao mā te 11% me ngā taumata utu kaihoko mā te 1.5% i waenga i nāianei me te tau 2023.

Ka nui ake te pānga o ngā utu utanga teitei ki ngā whenua whakawhanake moutere iti (SIDS), ā, ka piki ake pea ngā utu kawemai mā te 24% me ngā utu kaihoko mā te 7.5%. I ngā whenua tino ngoikore (LDC), ka piki ake pea ngā taumata utu kaihoko mā te 2.2%.

I te mutunga o te tau 2020, kua piki ake ngā utu utanga ki ngā taumata ohorere. I kitea tēnei i roto i te utu tūnga o te Shanghai Containerized Freight Index (SCFI).

Hei tauira, ko te utu ā-wāhi SCFI i runga i te huarahi Shanghai-Ūropi i raro iho i te $1,000 mō ia TEU i te marama o Hune 2020, i piki ki te $4,000 mō ia TEU i te mutunga o te tau 2020, ā, i piki ki te $7,552 mō ia TEU i te mutunga o Noema 2021. 

Hei tāpiri atu ki tēnā, e matapaetia ana ka noho teitei tonu ngā utu utanga nā te kaha tonu o te tono me te koretake o te tuku me ngā āwangawanga mō te whai huatanga o te kawe waka me ngā tauranga.

E ai ki te pūrongo hou mai i Sea-Intelligence, he kamupene raraunga me te tohutohu moana kei Copenhagen, tera pea e neke atu i te rua tau te roa o te hokinga o ngā utanga moana ki tōna taumata noa.

Ka pāngia hoki ngā taonga iti-uara tāpiri pēnei i ngā taonga whare, ngā kakahu, ngā kākahu me ngā hua hiako, ā, he maha ngā wā ka wehewehea te hanga o ēnei taonga puta noa i ngā ōhanga utu iti i tawhiti atu i ngā mākete kaihoko nui. E matapaetia ana e te UNCTAD ka piki ake ngā utu kaihoko mā te 10.2% mō ēnei.

Ko te Arotake o te Waka Moana he pūrongo matua a te UNCTAD, e whakaputaina ana i ia tau mai i te tau 1968. E whakarato ana i tētahi tātaritanga o ngā huringa hanganga me ngā huringa huringa e pā ana ki te hokohoko moana, ngā tauranga me ngā kaipuke, tae atu ki tētahi kohinga tatauranga whānui mai i te hokohoko moana me te kawe waka.
