[Tasmanian salmon farmers find a novel way to get their catch to market] => 塔斯马尼亚三文鱼养殖户找到运输新方法
[To ensure smoother air freight operations, DHL collaborated with partner networks on round-trip routes that would bring imports in and charter exports out of Australia.
Aircraft carrying foods from Europe and the U.S. to Hong Kong were first chartered down to Sydney where they were loaded with salmon and general cargo. They were then chartered back north, delivering to key markets like Shanghai.
To charter its general cargo out of China down to Australia, DHL engaged a partner network that had existing routes from Brisbane up to Taipei. The route would fly general cargo out of Shanghai down to Brisbane, before making a round trip back to Taipei.
The operation reinvigorated Australian pipelines and enabled flights from DHL's partner network to start flying in and out of Australia again amidst reduced flight capacities.
It also came as a saving grace for salmon exporters, as it was much cheaper to channel different cargo onto aircraft making round trips to key markets.
Since then, DHL has further collaborated with its partner network on other routes today for general cargo, typically out of Brisbane.
Promising signs
Normally, Norwegian salmon would be priced below Australia’s because of the sheer volume of salmon they can produce. However, the additional costs loaded onto the Norwegian product due to the Covid-19 lockdowns in China and the Ukraine-Russia conflict have driven up Norwegian salmon prices.
This has closed the price gap between Australian and Norwegian salmon and, in turn, helped keep Australian salmon competitive. For now, the low harvesting season has made things slightly quieter again for the Australian salmon industry, as there are fewer salmon ready for sale at a harvestable size.
Although the aftermath of Covid-19 on travel and freightage has yet to subside, Cooney says that a more stable outlook may be on the horizon for flight capacities, as compared to just before the pandemic hit.
“There were 2,000 flights out of Australia pre-Covid, and I think as of June, there were about 940 flights,” Cooney said. “So, we’ve certainly come a long way from the 300 flights when Covid-19 first began.”
For Cooney, the lesson has been a simple one: “You need to be able to think on your feet and always look outside of the square,” Cooney emphasized. “Because if you don’t, somebody else will.” ] => 为确保空运业务更顺畅地运作，DHL与合作伙伴网络在往返航线上进行合作，让飞机将进口货物带入澳大利亚，然后包机出口三文鱼等商品。
飞机把食品从欧洲和美国运送到香港后，会被包机送往悉尼，装上三文鱼和普通货物后，飞回北半球，把三文鱼和其他货物运送到上海等主要市场。
为了通过包机的方式，将普通货物从中国运到澳大利亚，DHL聘请了一个合作伙伴网络，该合作伙伴的现有航线可以从布里斯班飞到台北。通过这条航线，飞机可以先将普通货物从上海运到布里斯班，然后再飞回台北。
这种运输方式不仅重振了澳大利亚运输渠道，而且在航班运力减少的情况下，也能让DHL合作伙伴网络的航班进出澳大利亚。
对于三文鱼出口商而言，这种运输方式能帮他们省下不少钱，因为这些飞机往返于主要市场之间，用来输送不同货物的成本会更低。
自此，DHL与其合作伙伴网络也在其他普通货物航线上展开进一步合作。这些航班通常从布里斯班起飞。
前景光明
因为挪威三文鱼的产量高于澳大利亚三文鱼的产量，所以挪威三文鱼的价格通常会更低一些。然而，受中国疫情封控措施和俄乌冲突的影响，挪威三文鱼的额外成本有所增加，价格也因此被推高。
因此，澳大利亚三文鱼和挪威三文鱼之间的价格差距有所缩小，这有利于提高澳大利亚三文鱼的市场竞争力。目前恰逢收获淡季，可供出售的三文鱼数量减少，澳大利亚三文鱼行业略显平静。
尽管新冠疫情对旅游业和货运行业的影响尚未消退，但Cooney表示，与新冠疫情爆发之前相比，航班运力的前景可能会更加稳定。
“疫情之前，从澳大利亚起飞的航班数量有2000次。截至今年6月，这一数量大约为940次。”Cooney表示，“因此，与疫情刚开始时的300次起飞航班相比，我们的航班运力肯定已经大大增加。”
Cooney总结了一点简单的经验：“要能随机应变，要具有创造性。”库尼强调，“如果你做不到，那别人会做得到。”
[Tasmanian salmon must embark on a long journey from the very southern tip of the island to the north before they can be distributed to key domestic and international markets.
There, barges take the salmon across the Bass Strait to mainland Australia. Using a combination of sea and road freight, the fish are then shipped to gateway ports in Melbourne and Sydney, and transported to their respective markets. This logistics process takes 24 hours and leaves little room for error.
For instance, salmon must be kept at constant temperatures and in protected packaging to prevent spoilage. Carriers must also be wary of unforeseen events like delayed custom processes and port holdups – both of which can risk the freshness of such perishables in transit.

Tough competition
Six years ago, Australian salmon production was still very much seasonal, clocking the largest export volumes during peak months from August to January. The problem, however, was that there would be virtually no exports for the rest of the year, as time is needed for their fish to grow bigger again.
In comparison, one of Australia’s biggest competitors in the salmon industry, Norway, had seen signs of salmon farming from as early as the 1970s. This was kickstarted by the Grøntvedt brothers from a small island named Hitra, who decided to capitalize on a declining salmon population and capture wild salmon using floating net pens.
With a regular diet and protection from their natural predators, the fish in the pens flourished, and the siblings quickly realized the profitability of rearing salmon in well-treated enclosures.
[caption id="attachment_31485" align="alignnone" width="1200"] {%CAPTION%}[/caption]
Thanks to their experience in salmon production, Norway today owns a more well-developed farming infrastructure to produce salmon throughout the year. That presents yet another challenge for Australia to keep up with their competitor in getting fish to market worldwide.
Despite this, Australian salmon producers have made notable strides in emulating the Norwegian model for the past 10 years, getting close to maintaining a consistent supply of salmon all-year round.
“Aussie salmon seasonality has gone from say, you know, a six- to seven-month hiatus down to basically three to four, and then probably over the next five to six years that will just continue to reduce as their production increases,” said Bernie Cooney, Perishables and Livestock Manager, DHL Global Forwarding Australia.
Salmon popularity amidst Covid-19
In recent years, Tasmanian salmon have found their way onto dinner tables around the globe, owing to several factors such as an increasing awareness of their health benefits, as well as a shift in people’s consumption patterns. In fact, Tasmania’s booming salmonid aquaculture sector holds most of the seafood and aquaculture workforce in the resource-laden island.
[caption id="attachment_31480" align="alignnone" width="1200"] {%CAPTION%}[/caption]
Yet, even with the steady climb in salmon production, the quality of Tasmanian salmon has never been a trade-off for the farmers who take pride in delivering the freshest product, regardless of the challenges they face logistically.
Originally, frozen salmon went mostly by ocean freight, whereas fresh fish were transported in the air. However, Covid-19 exacerbated challenges like port congestion, forcing many farmers to freeze their products because fresh fish could not reach their markets in time.
In addition, a severe lack of flight capacity out of Australia meant that most of the salmon had to be transported to specific airports hundreds of kilometers away for delivery, particularly to Sydney where most of the flight capacity remained. This process added to the woes of getting Tassie salmon to international customers during the pandemic.
The message was clear for Tassie fisheries and for logistics provider DHL: it was time to get creative and work together in exploring their options.
No rocks unturned
DHL tapped into its network and identified several carriers they could join forces with. Because Australia still had a lot of import and export demand, DHL wanted any new flights chartered into the country to operate as efficiently as possible – not flying solely for salmon, but other cargo as well.
“Instead of looking at it as a one-way charter opportunity, we started to think: what can we do with round trips?” Cooney said.] => 出口商需要先将三文鱼从塔斯马尼亚岛的最南边运到北边，然后才能将三文鱼销往主要的国内和国际市场。
然后驳船穿过巴斯海峡，将三文鱼运往澳大利亚大陆。之后是海运和陆运结合，人们先用船把这些鱼运往墨尔本和悉尼的主要港口，再用车把它们运到这些城市的各个市场。整个物流运输过程需要24小时，中间几乎容不得一丝一毫的差错。
例如，为防止变质，三文鱼的包装必须保持恒温，不得受损。船舶运输公司还必须警惕一些不可预见的事件，例如海关流程延迟和港口滞留等，在运输过程中，这两类事件会让本就易腐烂变质的三文鱼的新鲜度大打折扣。
在到达海鲜市场用于出售前，塔斯马尼亚三文鱼每天都要经历一段很长的旅程。
激烈的竞争
六年前，澳大利亚三文鱼的生产具有较高的季节性，每年8月到次年1月为生产高峰期，三文鱼出口量最大。然而，这种季节性生产意味着，每年余下的时间里几乎没有三文鱼可供出口，因为鱼儿也需要时间来慢慢长大。
相比之下，在三文鱼产业中，澳大利亚最强大竞争对手——挪威早在上个世纪70年代就已经看到了三文鱼养殖的商机。挪威最早的三文鱼养殖户是来自希特拉岛（Hitra）的Grøntvedt兄弟。他们发现三文鱼的数量减少，于是决定使用浮动网箱捕捉野生三文鱼。
在网箱里养殖的三文鱼既能获得正常的饲喂，又不受天敌的侵扰，从而得以大量繁衍，Grøntvedt兄弟很快就发现，在网箱中饲养三文鱼能让他们赚得钵满盆满。
挪威峡湾陡峭的地形对海水形成了天然保护，强劲的水流让海水保持清澈，这为三文鱼提供了完美的生存环境。
挪威在三文鱼养殖方面有着丰富的经验，在这些经验的基础上，挪威建立了更完善的三文鱼养殖基础设施，可以全年生产三文鱼。这又给澳大利亚提出了一个难题，他们需要紧跟竞争对手的步伐，将鱼品推向全球市场。
尽管如此，过去10年，澳大利亚三文鱼生产商纷纷效仿挪威的生产模式，还取得了显著的成效，几乎全年都有稳定的三文鱼产出。
DHL Global Forwarding澳大利亚区易腐品和牲畜部经理Bernie Cooney表示：“澳大利亚三文鱼的季节性断货已经从以前的6到7个月缩短到大概3到4个月，而在未来5到6年内，随着三文鱼产量的增加，季节性断货的时间会越来越短。”
DHL利用关系网，确定了几家可以合作的空运运输公司。因为澳大利亚国内仍有着旺盛的进出口需求，DHL希望对任何进入澳大利亚的新包机航班都能做到物尽其用，也就是说飞机飞澳大利亚一趟不仅仅是为了运输三文鱼，还可以运输其他货物。
Cooney说：“我们想的是如何充分利用飞机的往返运力，而不是仅仅包机来单程运送三文鱼。”
[Salmon are reared in the seas south of Australia’s Tasmania for a reason: the waters are pure and free of diseases that commonly affect the anadromous fish, and warm enough to allow them to grow to a harvestable size within 18 months.
But what makes the location perfect for salmon also means it is far from any major shipping hubs. Getting them to market is a logistics challenge, even at the best of times. Covid-19 only made things harder, as soaring demand rubbed up against reduced shipping options — forcing the farmers and their local DHL partners to get creative.
The lesson to draw: beneath every robust logistics network lies a bedrock of adaptivity, creativity, and a willingness to collaborate to get the job done.
Background of Tasmanian salmon production
Since the 1980s, when salmon farming started in Tasmania, the global salmon industry was one of the fastest evolving food production systems in the world. Aquaculture – farming in water – is predominantly responsible for salmonid production worldwide, trumping wild-catch production and constituting 69 percent of global supply as of 2018.
Today, global salmon consumption makes up a whopping 70 percent (2.5 million metric tons) of the growing food production market, having risen threefold compared to 30 years ago.
In Australia, salmon farms nestled along the blue coastlines of Tasmania contribute over 90 percent of the country’s salmonid production.

但这片水域如此适合三文鱼生长繁殖，也意味着它远离了主要的航运枢纽。因此，即使是在最顺利的情况下，如何把这里的三文鱼送到市场上也成了一个难题。而新冠疫情的影响让三文鱼的物流运输变得难上加难。一方面是飙升的市场需求，而另一方面则是可选的物流方式很少，进退两难的养殖户不得不与当地的DHL伙伴合作，寻求创造性的解决方案。
从中总结到的经验：每一个强大的物流网络建立的背后，都是人们为了完成工作而进行自适应调整、发挥创造性、积极展开合作的过程。
三文鱼极易腐烂变质，因此在其运输过程中，如何控制时间和温度等就变成了至关重要的问题。为了减缓有害微生物的生长繁殖，制造商经常在运输前就把三文鱼冷冻起来。
然而，如果储存方式不当或运输过程稍有不慎，三文鱼会迅速腐烂变质，导致在运输过程中就发生损失。

Thanks to their experience in salmon production, Norway today owns a more well-developed farming infrastructure to produce salmon throughout the year. That presents yet another challenge for Australia to keep up with their competitor in getting fish to market worldwide.
Despite this, Australian salmon producers have made notable strides in emulating the Norwegian model for the past 10 years, getting close to maintaining a consistent supply of salmon all-year round.
“Aussie salmon seasonality has gone from say, you know, a six- to seven-month hiatus down to basically three to four, and then probably over the next five to six years that will just continue to reduce as their production increases,” said Bernie Cooney, Perishables and Livestock Manager, DHL Global Forwarding Australia.
Salmon popularity amidst Covid-19
In recent years, Tasmanian salmon have found their way onto dinner tables around the globe, owing to several factors such as an increasing awareness of their health benefits, as well as a shift in people’s consumption patterns. In fact, Tasmania’s booming salmonid aquaculture sector holds most of the seafood and aquaculture workforce in the resource-laden island.
[caption id="attachment_31480" align="alignnone" width="1200"] {%CAPTION%}[/caption]
Yet, even with the steady climb in salmon production, the quality of Tasmanian salmon has never been a trade-off for the farmers who take pride in delivering the freshest product, regardless of the challenges they face logistically.
Originally, frozen salmon went mostly by ocean freight, whereas fresh fish were transported in the air. However, Covid-19 exacerbated challenges like port congestion, forcing many farmers to freeze their products because fresh fish could not reach their markets in time.
In addition, a severe lack of flight capacity out of Australia meant that most of the salmon had to be transported to specific airports hundreds of kilometers away for delivery, particularly to Sydney where most of the flight capacity remained. This process added to the woes of getting Tassie salmon to international customers during the pandemic.
The message was clear for Tassie fisheries and for logistics provider DHL: it was time to get creative and work together in exploring their options.
No rocks unturned
DHL tapped into its network and identified several carriers they could join forces with. Because Australia still had a lot of import and export demand, DHL wanted any new flights chartered into the country to operate as efficiently as possible – not flying solely for salmon, but other cargo as well.
“Instead of looking at it as a one-way charter opportunity, we started to think: what can we do with round trips?” Cooney said.] => 出口商需要先将三文鱼从塔斯马尼亚岛的最南边运到北边，然后才能将三文鱼销往主要的国内和国际市场。
然后驳船穿过巴斯海峡，将三文鱼运往澳大利亚大陆。之后是海运和陆运结合，人们先用船把这些鱼运往墨尔本和悉尼的主要港口，再用车把它们运到这些城市的各个市场。整个物流运输过程需要24小时，中间几乎容不得一丝一毫的差错。
例如，为防止变质，三文鱼的包装必须保持恒温，不得受损。船舶运输公司还必须警惕一些不可预见的事件，例如海关流程延迟和港口滞留等，在运输过程中，这两类事件会让本就易腐烂变质的三文鱼的新鲜度大打折扣。
在到达海鲜市场用于出售前，塔斯马尼亚三文鱼每天都要经历一段很长的旅程。
激烈的竞争
六年前，澳大利亚三文鱼的生产具有较高的季节性，每年8月到次年1月为生产高峰期，三文鱼出口量最大。然而，这种季节性生产意味着，每年余下的时间里几乎没有三文鱼可供出口，因为鱼儿也需要时间来慢慢长大。
相比之下，在三文鱼产业中，澳大利亚最强大竞争对手——挪威早在上个世纪70年代就已经看到了三文鱼养殖的商机。挪威最早的三文鱼养殖户是来自希特拉岛（Hitra）的Grøntvedt兄弟。他们发现三文鱼的数量减少，于是决定使用浮动网箱捕捉野生三文鱼。
在网箱里养殖的三文鱼既能获得正常的饲喂，又不受天敌的侵扰，从而得以大量繁衍，Grøntvedt兄弟很快就发现，在网箱中饲养三文鱼能让他们赚得钵满盆满。
挪威峡湾陡峭的地形对海水形成了天然保护，强劲的水流让海水保持清澈，这为三文鱼提供了完美的生存环境。
挪威在三文鱼养殖方面有着丰富的经验，在这些经验的基础上，挪威建立了更完善的三文鱼养殖基础设施，可以全年生产三文鱼。这又给澳大利亚提出了一个难题，他们需要紧跟竞争对手的步伐，将鱼品推向全球市场。
尽管如此，过去10年，澳大利亚三文鱼生产商纷纷效仿挪威的生产模式，还取得了显著的成效，几乎全年都有稳定的三文鱼产出。
DHL Global Forwarding澳大利亚区易腐品和牲畜部经理Bernie Cooney表示：“澳大利亚三文鱼的季节性断货已经从以前的6到7个月缩短到大概3到4个月，而在未来5到6年内，随着三文鱼产量的增加，季节性断货的时间会越来越短。”
DHL利用关系网，确定了几家可以合作的空运运输公司。因为澳大利亚国内仍有着旺盛的进出口需求，DHL希望对任何进入澳大利亚的新包机航班都能做到物尽其用，也就是说飞机飞澳大利亚一趟不仅仅是为了运输三文鱼，还可以运输其他货物。
Cooney说：“我们想的是如何充分利用飞机的往返运力，而不是仅仅包机来单程运送三文鱼。”

Background of Tasmanian salmon production
Since the 1980s, when salmon farming started in Tasmania, the global salmon industry was one of the fastest evolving food production systems in the world. Aquaculture – farming in water – is predominantly responsible for salmonid production worldwide, trumping wild-catch production and constituting 69 percent of global supply as of 2018.
Today, global salmon consumption makes up a whopping 70 percent (2.5 million metric tons) of the growing food production market, having risen threefold compared to 30 years ago.
In Australia, salmon farms nestled along the blue coastlines of Tasmania contribute over 90 percent of the country’s salmonid production.

但这片水域如此适合三文鱼生长繁殖，也意味着它远离了主要的航运枢纽。因此，即使是在最顺利的情况下，如何把这里的三文鱼送到市场上也成了一个难题。而新冠疫情的影响让三文鱼的物流运输变得难上加难。一方面是飙升的市场需求，而另一方面则是可选的物流方式很少，进退两难的养殖户不得不与当地的DHL伙伴合作，寻求创造性的解决方案。
从中总结到的经验：每一个强大的物流网络建立的背后，都是人们为了完成工作而进行自适应调整、发挥创造性、积极展开合作的过程。
三文鱼极易腐烂变质，因此在其运输过程中，如何控制时间和温度等就变成了至关重要的问题。为了减缓有害微生物的生长繁殖，制造商经常在运输前就把三文鱼冷冻起来。
然而，如果储存方式不当或运输过程稍有不慎，三文鱼会迅速腐烂变质，导致在运输过程中就发生损失。

In fact, Tasmania’s booming salmonid aquaculture sector holds most of the seafood and aquaculture workforce in the resource-laden island.
Salmon is often touted as a rich source of healthy Omega-3 fatty acids, which are considered ‘essential’ because the human body is unable to produce them naturally.

“Instead of looking at it as a one-way charter opportunity, we started to think: what can we do with round trips?” Cooney said.
To ensure smoother air freight operations, DHL collaborated with partner networks on round-trip routes that would bring imports in and charter exports out of Australia.
Aircraft carrying foods from Europe and the U.S. to Hong Kong were first chartered down to Sydney where they were loaded with salmon and general cargo. They were then chartered back north, delivering to key markets like Shanghai.
To charter its general cargo out of China down to Australia, DHL engaged a partner network that had existing routes from Brisbane up to Taipei. The route would fly general cargo out of Shanghai down to Brisbane, before making a round trip back to Taipei.
The operation reinvigorated Australian pipelines and enabled flights from DHL’s partner network to start flying in and out of Australia again amidst reduced flight capacities.
It also came as a saving grace for salmon exporters, as it was much cheaper to channel different cargo onto aircraft making round trips to key markets.
Since then, DHL has further collaborated with its partner network on other routes today for general cargo, typically out of Brisbane.
Promising signs
Normally, Norwegian salmon would be priced below Australia’s because of the sheer volume of salmon they can produce. However, the additional costs loaded onto the Norwegian product due to the Covid-19 lockdowns in China and the Ukraine-Russia conflict have driven up Norwegian salmon prices.
This has closed the price gap between Australian and Norwegian salmon and, in turn, helped keep Australian salmon competitive. For now, the low harvesting season has made things slightly quieter again for the Australian salmon industry, as there are fewer salmon ready for sale at a harvestable size.
Although the aftermath of Covid-19 on travel and freightage has yet to subside, Cooney says that a more stable outlook may be on the horizon for flight capacities, as compared to just before the pandemic hit.
“There were 2,000 flights out of Australia pre-Covid, and I think as of June, there were about 940 flights,” Cooney said. “So, we’ve certainly come a long way from the 300 flights when Covid-19 first began.”
For Cooney, the lesson has been a simple one: “You need to be able to think on your feet and always look outside of the square,” Cooney emphasized. “Because if you don’t, somebody else will.” ] =>

飞机把食品从欧洲和美国运送到香港后，会被包机送往悉尼，装上三文鱼和普通货物后，飞回北半球，把三文鱼和其他货物运送到上海等主要市场。
为了通过包机的方式，将普通货物从中国运到澳大利亚，DHL聘请了一个合作伙伴网络，该合作伙伴的现有航线可以从布里斯班飞到台北。通过这条航线，飞机可以先将普通货物从上海运到布里斯班，然后再飞回台北。
这种运输方式不仅重振了澳大利亚运输渠道，而且在航班运力减少的情况下，也能让DHL合作伙伴网络的航班进出澳大利亚。
对于三文鱼出口商而言，这种运输方式能帮他们省下不少钱，因为这些飞机往返于主要市场之间，用来输送不同货物的成本会更低。
自此，DHL与其合作伙伴网络也在其他普通货物航线上展开进一步合作。这些航班通常从布里斯班起飞。
前景光明
因为挪威三文鱼的产量高于澳大利亚三文鱼的产量，所以挪威三文鱼的价格通常会更低一些。然而，受中国疫情封控措施和俄乌冲突的影响，挪威三文鱼的额外成本有所增加，价格也因此被推高。
因此，澳大利亚三文鱼和挪威三文鱼之间的价格差距有所缩小，这有利于提高澳大利亚三文鱼的市场竞争力。目前恰逢收获淡季，可供出售的三文鱼数量减少，澳大利亚三文鱼行业略显平静。
尽管新冠疫情对旅游业和货运行业的影响尚未消退，但Cooney表示，与新冠疫情爆发之前相比，航班运力的前景可能会更加稳定。
“疫情之前，从澳大利亚起飞的航班数量有2000次。截至今年6月，这一数量大约为940次。”Cooney表示，“因此，与疫情刚开始时的300次起飞航班相比，我们的航班运力肯定已经大大增加。”
Cooney总结了一点简单的经验：“要能随机应变，要具有创造性。”库尼强调，“如果你做不到，那别人会做得到。”

六年前，澳大利亚三文鱼的生产具有较高的季节性，每年8月到次年1月为生产高峰期，三文鱼出口量最大。然而，这种季节性生产意味着，每年余下的时间里几乎没有三文鱼可供出口，因为鱼儿也需要时间来慢慢长大。
相比之下，在三文鱼产业中，澳大利亚最强大竞争对手——挪威早在上个世纪70年代就已经看到了三文鱼养殖的商机。挪威最早的三文鱼养殖户是来自希特拉岛（Hitra）的Grøntvedt兄弟。他们发现三文鱼的数量减少，于是决定使用浮动网箱捕捉野生三文鱼。
在网箱里养殖的三文鱼既能获得正常的饲喂，又不受天敌的侵扰，从而得以大量繁衍，Grøntvedt兄弟很快就发现，在网箱中饲养三文鱼能让他们赚得钵满盆满。
挪威峡湾陡峭的地形对海水形成了天然保护，强劲的水流让海水保持清澈，这为三文鱼提供了完美的生存环境。
挪威在三文鱼养殖方面有着丰富的经验，在这些经验的基础上，挪威建立了更完善的三文鱼养殖基础设施，可以全年生产三文鱼。这又给澳大利亚提出了一个难题，他们需要紧跟竞争对手的步伐，将鱼品推向全球市场。
尽管如此，过去10年，澳大利亚三文鱼生产商纷纷效仿挪威的生产模式，还取得了显著的成效，几乎全年都有稳定的三文鱼产出。
DHL Global Forwarding澳大利亚区易腐品和牲畜部经理Bernie Cooney表示：“澳大利亚三文鱼的季节性断货已经从以前的6到7个月缩短到大概3到4个月，而在未来5到6年内，随着三文鱼产量的增加，季节性断货的时间会越来越短。”
DHL利用关系网，确定了几家可以合作的空运运输公司。因为澳大利亚国内仍有着旺盛的进出口需求，DHL希望对任何进入澳大利亚的新包机航班都能做到物尽其用，也就是说飞机飞澳大利亚一趟不仅仅是为了运输三文鱼，还可以运输其他货物。
Cooney说：“我们想的是如何充分利用飞机的往返运力，而不是仅仅包机来单程运送三文鱼。”

但这片水域如此适合三文鱼生长繁殖，也意味着它远离了主要的航运枢纽。因此，即使是在最顺利的情况下，如何把这里的三文鱼送到市场上也成了一个难题。而新冠疫情的影响让三文鱼的物流运输变得难上加难。一方面是飙升的市场需求，而另一方面则是可选的物流方式很少，进退两难的养殖户不得不与当地的DHL伙伴合作，寻求创造性的解决方案。

三文鱼极易腐烂变质，因此在其运输过程中，如何控制时间和温度等就变成了至关重要的问题。为了减缓有害微生物的生长繁殖，制造商经常在运输前就把三文鱼冷冻起来。

Aquaculture – farming in water – is predominantly responsible for salmonid production worldwide, trumping wild-catch production and constituting 69 percent of global supply as of 2018.

In Australia, salmon farms nestled along the blue coastlines of Tasmania contribute over 90 percent of the country’s salmonid production.
Salmon are anadromous – meaning that they can live in both freshwater and saltwater.
Moving Tassie salmon around
The nature of salmon as a highly perishable product means that issues such as time and temperature are crucial in logistics, and manufacturers often freeze them before they are shipped to slow the growth of harmful microorganisms.
When salmon are improperly stored or transported, however, they can quickly deteriorate, leading to premature losses during the shipping process.
RELATED ARTICLESDHL Perishables LogisticsOur full range of services ensures the optimum conditions and proper compliance for perishables across the supply chain.Tasmanian salmon must embark on a long journey from the very southern tip of the island to the north before they can be distributed to key domestic and international markets.
There, barges take the salmon across the Bass Strait to mainland Australia. Using a combination of sea and road freight, the fish are then shipped to gateway ports in Melbourne and Sydney, and transported to their respective markets. This logistics process takes 24 hours and leaves little room for error.
For instance, salmon must be kept at constant temperatures and in protected packaging to prevent spoilage. Carriers must also be wary of unforeseen events like delayed custom processes and port holdups – both of which can risk the freshness of such perishables in transit.
Tasmanian salmon go through a long voyage daily before arriving at fish markets fresh and ready for sale.
Tough competition
Six years ago, Australian salmon production was still very much seasonal, clocking the largest export volumes during peak months from August to January. The problem, however, was that there would be virtually no exports for the rest of the year, as time is needed for their fish to grow bigger again.
In comparison, one of Australia’s biggest competitors in the salmon industry, Norway, had seen signs of salmon farming from as early as the 1970s. This was kickstarted by the Grøntvedt brothers from a small island named Hitra, who decided to capitalize on a declining salmon population and capture wild salmon using floating net pens.
With a regular diet and protection from their natural predators, the fish in the pens flourished, and the siblings quickly realized the profitability of rearing salmon in well-treated enclosures.
The oceanwater in Norwegian fjords is naturally protected by steep terrain and kept clean by strong water currents, allowing salmon the perfect place to thrive.
Thanks to their experience in salmon production, Norway today owns a more well-developed farming infrastructure to produce salmon throughout the year. That presents yet another challenge for Australia to keep up with their competitor in getting fish to market worldwide.
Despite this, Australian salmon producers have made notable strides in emulating the Norwegian model for the past 10 years, getting close to maintaining a consistent supply of salmon all-year round.
“Aussie salmon seasonality has gone from say, you know, a six- to seven-month hiatus down to basically three to four, and then probably over the next five to six years that will just continue to reduce as their production increases,” said Bernie Cooney, Perishables and Livestock Manager, DHL Global Forwarding Australia.
Salmon popularity amidst Covid-19
In recent years, Tasmanian salmon have found their way onto dinner tables around the globe, owing to several factors such as an increasing awareness of their health benefits, as well as a shift in people’s consumption patterns. In fact, Tasmania’s booming salmonid aquaculture sector holds most of the seafood and aquaculture workforce in the resource-laden island.
Salmon is often touted as a rich source of healthy Omega-3 fatty acids, which are considered ‘essential’ because the human body is unable to produce them naturally.
Yet, even with the steady climb in salmon production, the quality of Tasmanian salmon has never been a trade-off for the farmers who take pride in delivering the freshest product, regardless of the challenges they face logistically.
Originally, frozen salmon went mostly by ocean freight, whereas fresh fish were transported in the air. However, Covid-19 exacerbated challenges like port congestion, forcing many farmers to freeze their products because fresh fish could not reach their markets in time.
In addition, a severe lack of flight capacity out of Australia meant that most of the salmon had to be transported to specific airports hundreds of kilometers away for delivery, particularly to Sydney where most of the flight capacity remained. This process added to the woes of getting Tassie salmon to international customers during the pandemic.
The message was clear for Tassie fisheries and for logistics provider DHL: it was time to get creative and work together in exploring their options.
No rocks unturned
DHL tapped into its network and identified several carriers they could join forces with. Because Australia still had a lot of import and export demand, DHL wanted any new flights chartered into the country to operate as efficiently as possible – not flying solely for salmon, but other cargo as well.
“Instead of looking at it as a one-way charter opportunity, we started to think: what can we do with round trips?” Cooney said.
To ensure smoother air freight operations, DHL collaborated with partner networks on round-trip routes that would bring imports in and charter exports out of Australia.
Aircraft carrying foods from Europe and the U.S. to Hong Kong were first chartered down to Sydney where they were loaded with salmon and general cargo. They were then chartered back north, delivering to key markets like Shanghai.
To charter its general cargo out of China down to Australia, DHL engaged a partner network that had existing routes from Brisbane up to Taipei. The route would fly general cargo out of Shanghai down to Brisbane, before making a round trip back to Taipei.
The operation reinvigorated Australian pipelines and enabled flights from DHL’s partner network to start flying in and out of Australia again amidst reduced flight capacities.
It also came as a saving grace for salmon exporters, as it was much cheaper to channel different cargo onto aircraft making round trips to key markets.
Since then, DHL has further collaborated with its partner network on other routes today for general cargo, typically out of Brisbane.
Promising signs
Normally, Norwegian salmon would be priced below Australia’s because of the sheer volume of salmon they can produce. However, the additional costs loaded onto the Norwegian product due to the Covid-19 lockdowns in China and the Ukraine-Russia conflict have driven up Norwegian salmon prices.
This has closed the price gap between Australian and Norwegian salmon and, in turn, helped keep Australian salmon competitive. For now, the low harvesting season has made things slightly quieter again for the Australian salmon industry, as there are fewer salmon ready for sale at a harvestable size.
Although the aftermath of Covid-19 on travel and freightage has yet to subside, Cooney says that a more stable outlook may be on the horizon for flight capacities, as compared to just before the pandemic hit.
“There were 2,000 flights out of Australia pre-Covid, and I think as of June, there were about 940 flights,” Cooney said. “So, we’ve certainly come a long way from the 300 flights when Covid-19 first began.”
For Cooney, the lesson has been a simple one: “You need to be able to think on your feet and always look outside of the square,” Cooney emphasized. “Because if you don’t, somebody else will.” ] =>

飞机把食品从欧洲和美国运送到香港后，会被包机送往悉尼，装上三文鱼和普通货物后，飞回北半球，把三文鱼和其他货物运送到上海等主要市场。
为了通过包机的方式，将普通货物从中国运到澳大利亚，DHL聘请了一个合作伙伴网络，该合作伙伴的现有航线可以从布里斯班飞到台北。通过这条航线，飞机可以先将普通货物从上海运到布里斯班，然后再飞回台北。
这种运输方式不仅重振了澳大利亚运输渠道，而且在航班运力减少的情况下，也能让DHL合作伙伴网络的航班进出澳大利亚。
对于三文鱼出口商而言，这种运输方式能帮他们省下不少钱，因为这些飞机往返于主要市场之间，用来输送不同货物的成本会更低。
自此，DHL与其合作伙伴网络也在其他普通货物航线上展开进一步合作。这些航班通常从布里斯班起飞。
前景光明
因为挪威三文鱼的产量高于澳大利亚三文鱼的产量，所以挪威三文鱼的价格通常会更低一些。然而，受中国疫情封控措施和俄乌冲突的影响，挪威三文鱼的额外成本有所增加，价格也因此被推高。
因此，澳大利亚三文鱼和挪威三文鱼之间的价格差距有所缩小，这有利于提高澳大利亚三文鱼的市场竞争力。目前恰逢收获淡季，可供出售的三文鱼数量减少，澳大利亚三文鱼行业略显平静。
尽管新冠疫情对旅游业和货运行业的影响尚未消退，但Cooney表示，与新冠疫情爆发之前相比，航班运力的前景可能会更加稳定。
“疫情之前，从澳大利亚起飞的航班数量有2000次。截至今年6月，这一数量大约为940次。”Cooney表示，“因此，与疫情刚开始时的300次起飞航班相比，我们的航班运力肯定已经大大增加。”
Cooney总结了一点简单的经验：“要能随机应变，要具有创造性。”库尼强调，“如果你做不到，那别人会做得到。”

例如，为防止变质，三文鱼的包装必须保持恒温，不得受损。船舶运输公司还必须警惕一些不可预见的事件，例如海关流程延迟和港口滞留等，在运输过程中，这两类事件会让本就易腐烂变质的三文鱼的新鲜度大打折扣。
在到达海鲜市场用于出售前，塔斯马尼亚三文鱼每天都要经历一段很长的旅程。
激烈的竞争
六年前，澳大利亚三文鱼的生产具有较高的季节性，每年8月到次年1月为生产高峰期，三文鱼出口量最大。然而，这种季节性生产意味着，每年余下的时间里几乎没有三文鱼可供出口，因为鱼儿也需要时间来慢慢长大。
相比之下，在三文鱼产业中，澳大利亚最强大竞争对手——挪威早在上个世纪70年代就已经看到了三文鱼养殖的商机。挪威最早的三文鱼养殖户是来自希特拉岛（Hitra）的Grøntvedt兄弟。他们发现三文鱼的数量减少，于是决定使用浮动网箱捕捉野生三文鱼。

挪威峡湾陡峭的地形对海水形成了天然保护，强劲的水流让海水保持清澈，这为三文鱼提供了完美的生存环境。
挪威在三文鱼养殖方面有着丰富的经验，在这些经验的基础上，挪威建立了更完善的三文鱼养殖基础设施，可以全年生产三文鱼。这又给澳大利亚提出了一个难题，他们需要紧跟竞争对手的步伐，将鱼品推向全球市场。
尽管如此，过去10年，澳大利亚三文鱼生产商纷纷效仿挪威的生产模式，还取得了显著的成效，几乎全年都有稳定的三文鱼产出。

Aquaculture – farming in water – is predominantly responsible for salmonid production worldwide, trumping wild-catch production and constituting 69 percent of global supply as of 2018.
Today, global salmon consumption makes up a whopping 70 percent (2.5 million metric tons) of the growing food production market, having risen threefold compared to 30 years ago.
In Australia, salmon farms nestled along the blue coastlines of Tasmania contribute over 90 percent of the country’s salmonid production.
Salmon are anadromous – meaning that they can live in both freshwater and saltwater.
Moving Tassie salmon around
The nature of salmon as a highly perishable product means that issues such as time and temperature are crucial in logistics, and manufacturers often freeze them before they are shipped to slow the growth of harmful microorganisms.
When salmon are improperly stored or transported, however, they can quickly deteriorate, leading to premature losses during the shipping process.

There, barges take the salmon across the Bass Strait to mainland Australia. Using a combination of sea and road freight, the fish are then shipped to gateway ports in Melbourne and Sydney, and transported to their respective markets. This logistics process takes 24 hours and leaves little room for error.
For instance, salmon must be kept at constant temperatures and in protected packaging to prevent spoilage. Carriers must also be wary of unforeseen events like delayed custom processes and port holdups – both of which can risk the freshness of such perishables in transit.
Tasmanian salmon go through a long voyage daily before arriving at fish markets fresh and ready for sale.
Tough competition
Six years ago, Australian salmon production was still very much seasonal, clocking the largest export volumes during peak months from August to January. The problem, however, was that there would be virtually no exports for the rest of the year, as time is needed for their fish to grow bigger again.
In comparison, one of Australia’s biggest competitors in the salmon industry, Norway, had seen signs of salmon farming from as early as the 1970s. This was kickstarted by the Grøntvedt brothers from a small island named Hitra, who decided to capitalize on a declining salmon population and capture wild salmon using floating net pens.
With a regular diet and protection from their natural predators, the fish in the pens flourished, and the siblings quickly realized the profitability of rearing salmon in well-treated enclosures.
The oceanwater in Norwegian fjords is naturally protected by steep terrain and kept clean by strong water currents, allowing salmon the perfect place to thrive.
Thanks to their experience in salmon production, Norway today owns a more well-developed farming infrastructure to produce salmon throughout the year. That presents yet another challenge for Australia to keep up with their competitor in getting fish to market worldwide.
Despite this, Australian salmon producers have made notable strides in emulating the Norwegian model for the past 10 years, getting close to maintaining a consistent supply of salmon all-year round.
“Aussie salmon seasonality has gone from say, you know, a six- to seven-month hiatus down to basically three to four, and then probably over the next five to six years that will just continue to reduce as their production increases,” said Bernie Cooney, Perishables and Livestock Manager, DHL Global Forwarding Australia.
Salmon popularity amidst Covid-19
In recent years, Tasmanian salmon have found their way onto dinner tables around the globe, owing to several factors such as an increasing awareness of their health benefits, as well as a shift in people’s consumption patterns. In fact, Tasmania’s booming salmonid aquaculture sector holds most of the seafood and aquaculture workforce in the resource-laden island.
Salmon is often touted as a rich source of healthy Omega-3 fatty acids, which are considered ‘essential’ because the human body is unable to produce them naturally.
Yet, even with the steady climb in salmon production, the quality of Tasmanian salmon has never been a trade-off for the farmers who take pride in delivering the freshest product, regardless of the challenges they face logistically.
Originally, frozen salmon went mostly by ocean freight, whereas fresh fish were transported in the air. However, Covid-19 exacerbated challenges like port congestion, forcing many farmers to freeze their products because fresh fish could not reach their markets in time.
In addition, a severe lack of flight capacity out of Australia meant that most of the salmon had to be transported to specific airports hundreds of kilometers away for delivery, particularly to Sydney where most of the flight capacity remained. This process added to the woes of getting Tassie salmon to international customers during the pandemic.
The message was clear for Tassie fisheries and for logistics provider DHL: it was time to get creative and work together in exploring their options.
No rocks unturned
DHL tapped into its network and identified several carriers they could join forces with. Because Australia still had a lot of import and export demand, DHL wanted any new flights chartered into the country to operate as efficiently as possible – not flying solely for salmon, but other cargo as well.
“Instead of looking at it as a one-way charter opportunity, we started to think: what can we do with round trips?” Cooney said.
To ensure smoother air freight operations, DHL collaborated with partner networks on round-trip routes that would bring imports in and charter exports out of Australia.
Aircraft carrying foods from Europe and the U.S. to Hong Kong were first chartered down to Sydney where they were loaded with salmon and general cargo. They were then chartered back north, delivering to key markets like Shanghai.
To charter its general cargo out of China down to Australia, DHL engaged a partner network that had existing routes from Brisbane up to Taipei. The route would fly general cargo out of Shanghai down to Brisbane, before making a round trip back to Taipei.
The operation reinvigorated Australian pipelines and enabled flights from DHL’s partner network to start flying in and out of Australia again amidst reduced flight capacities.
It also came as a saving grace for salmon exporters, as it was much cheaper to channel different cargo onto aircraft making round trips to key markets.
Since then, DHL has further collaborated with its partner network on other routes today for general cargo, typically out of Brisbane.
Promising signs
Normally, Norwegian salmon would be priced below Australia’s because of the sheer volume of salmon they can produce. However, the additional costs loaded onto the Norwegian product due to the Covid-19 lockdowns in China and the Ukraine-Russia conflict have driven up Norwegian salmon prices.
This has closed the price gap between Australian and Norwegian salmon and, in turn, helped keep Australian salmon competitive. For now, the low harvesting season has made things slightly quieter again for the Australian salmon industry, as there are fewer salmon ready for sale at a harvestable size.
Although the aftermath of Covid-19 on travel and freightage has yet to subside, Cooney says that a more stable outlook may be on the horizon for flight capacities, as compared to just before the pandemic hit.
“There were 2,000 flights out of Australia pre-Covid, and I think as of June, there were about 940 flights,” Cooney said. “So, we’ve certainly come a long way from the 300 flights when Covid-19 first began.”
For Cooney, the lesson has been a simple one: “You need to be able to think on your feet and always look outside of the square,” Cooney emphasized. “Because if you don’t, somebody else will.” ] =>

在到达海鲜市场用于出售前，塔斯马尼亚三文鱼每天都要经历一段很长的旅程。
挪威峡湾陡峭的地形对海水形成了天然保护，强劲的水流让海水保持清澈，这为三文鱼提供了完美的生存环境。
挪威在三文鱼养殖方面有着丰富的经验，在这些经验的基础上，挪威建立了更完善的三文鱼养殖基础设施，可以全年生产三文鱼。这又给澳大利亚提出了一个难题，他们需要紧跟竞争对手的步伐，将鱼品推向全球市场。
尽管如此，过去10年，澳大利亚三文鱼生产商纷纷效仿挪威的生产模式，还取得了显著的成效，几乎全年都有稳定的三文鱼产出。
DHL Global Forwarding澳大利亚区易腐品和牲畜部经理Bernie Cooney表示：“澳大利亚三文鱼的季节性断货已经从以前的6到7个月缩短到大概3到4个月，而在未来5到6年内，随着三文鱼产量的增加，季节性断货的时间会越来越短。”
三文鱼常常被看作摄取健康的Omega-3脂肪酸的丰富来源，Omega-3脂肪酸因人体无法生产而变得尤其珍贵。
然而，即便三文鱼产量稳步攀升，塔斯马尼亚养殖户也从不会在质量问题上作出妥协，他们以提供最新鲜的塔斯马尼亚三文鱼为荣，无论在物流运输上要面临多少困难。
起初，冷冻三文鱼主要通过海运运输，而鲜鱼则通过空运运输。然而，新冠疫情加剧了港口拥堵等问题，鲜鱼无法及时送达市场，无奈之下，许多养殖户只能把自己的产品冷冻起来。
此外，由于澳大利亚航班运力严重不足，养殖户只能将大部分三文鱼运送到数百公里外的特定机场，特别是大部分航班仍然正常运行的悉尼，才能通过空运把这些三文鱼运送出去。疫情期间，如此辗转的运输过程，让塔斯马尼亚三文鱼走向国际市场的脚步变得异常艰难。
面对这样的局面，塔斯马尼亚的渔业和物流供应商DHL明白：这个时候，他们需要发挥创造力，合作探索更多运输渠道。
三文鱼是溯河产卵种群，也就是说它们既可生活在淡水中，也可生活在咸水中。
