Abstract
In contemporary society, globalized trade continues to develop and become the mainstream of economic trade. As an important role in the shipping industry connecting all parts of the shipping industry, the operational efficiency and cost control ability of freight forwarding enterprises are directly related to the competitiveness of foreign trade enterprises. This thesis aims to analyze the role of shipping rate fluctuation and supply chain resilience on the marginal efficiency of freight forwarding enterprises, which is assessed by collecting shipping rate indices and analyzing past literature. It is found that the marginal cost of freight forwarders is more sensitive to the fluctuation of shipping tariffs and fuel costs, and that firms with higher supply chain resilience can effectively mitigate the shock during the period of rising tariffs. While improving efficiency, shipping companies still need to balance the relationship between cost control and environmental sustainability and form closer collaborative relationships with partners to cope with the wave of digitization.
