UPS supports the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Reauthorization Act of 2024. This bill is a significant step forward for the U.S. aviation and cargo infrastructure that will pave the way for the future of both industries. This legislation encourages innovation, promotes sustainability and aligns with UPS���s unwavering commitment to safety. The bill also recognizes the vital role of cargo operations in strengthening nation's economy and supply chain and will enable UPS to better serve our customers, employees and communities. This is a win for the cargo industry, the U.S. economy and the global supply chain. I applaud the bipartisan efforts in Congress to pass the bill and look forward to the President singing it into law #ups #deliveringwhatmatters #safety #aircargo

The tragic collapse of Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge continues to send shockwaves through supply chains, especially with the closure of the Post of Baltimore. In the face of adversity, logistics providers like Eagle Air Freight have swiftly mobilized their resources to mitigate the consequences on their clients' import and export activities. From rerouting cargo to neighboring ports like New York/New Jersey and Norfolk to optimizing trucking and transload capacity, logistics providers are leaving no stone unturned in ensuring the continuity of their services while recovery continues. As the industry grapples with the fallout, Eagle Air Freight logistics providers urge their clients and partners to stay informed and connected. https://bit.ly/49YHT5E

Given the rise in online shopping and a decrease in traditional mail usage, the USPS is aiming to take advantage of shifting consumer purchasing patterns. However, this endeavor presents a challenging road ahead. #SupplyChainConsulting #WarehouseConsulting #SmallParcelShipping

Keen insights on how freight & shipping carriers are adjusting to the Port of Baltimore closure. Supply chain headaches are spread across shippers (dealing with delays), truckers (driving longer hours) and ocean carriers (rerouting vessels). The Port of New York/NewJersey is handling about one-third of the volume diverted from Baltimore. Georgia ports are also handling a good portion, too.

For sellers in Taiwan, Europe has long been an enticing export market. UPS has increased capacity with an additional flight, allowing Taiwanese businesses to deliver 30% more volume to Europe. But that’s not all, shipments from Taiwan now reach European customers in as little as two business days, providing buyers with fast delivery and opening more growth #opportunities for Taiwanese businesses in Europe. Additionally, exporters can now schedule shipment pickups as late as midnight, eliminating the need to rush to meet daytime deadlines. And to top it off, all of this is supported by UPS's Money-Back Guarantee for Express Services, because reliability matters for UPS. #ecommerce #taiwan #digital #globalcommerce #Asia #APAC https://lnkd.in/gH2Z8WeC

The United States’ supply chain is resilient and built to withstand enormous strain. Sal Mercogliano and I may give an update this week on next steps in salvage ops, supply chain, and even maritime law’s rule of “general average.” Before that, let me clear something up… I’ve been asked by folks about the supply chain, inflation, and flow of goods in the stream of commerce. Baltimore is indeed a growing containerized port. As my friend Mark Szakonyi of the Journal of Commerce points out, sensationalism of the system during tough times is just that… sensationalized. I can say, Baltimore “will be” a formidable contender in the coming years, once the “Howard Street Tunnel” double stack rail line opens to the midwest, and Trade Point Atlantic/MSC -TIL container terminal is built and operating — doubling capacity in and around the port of Charm City. 💯’s of millions of dollars have been spent in the distribution, sorting and fulfillment warehousing space in and around Maryland for containerized goods. No doubt, the Port of Baltimore is the largest importer and exporter of autos, light trucks and farm equipment in the country. But, Baltimore handles maybe 1 million containers per year. The Port of Los Angeles/Long Beach handles +/- 1 million containers per month. And same with Port of New York/New Jersey, it handles 700k-plus per month. Indeed, Baltimore needs to get back to work. Longshoremen are the backbone of the Port, they showed up 24-7-365 during COVID. This temporary shut down impacts coal miners in western Pennsylvania and Northern West Virginia— they all rail to on-dock Baltimore for export. Paper and pulp is big in Baltimore — think Amazon boxes. Autos are huge. But, again, every day retail items will not be affected. The supply chain is resilient, just like Baltimore.

The Port of Baltimore is on the brink of full recovery following months of restricted access due to the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse. With major shipping lines like Maersk, MSC, and Hapag-Lloyd resuming services, the port is poised for a surge in cargo volumes. Federal agencies and stakeholders are actively coordinating to ensure a smooth transition. As Baltimore gears up to handle increased demand, preparedness, and communication remain key. Are you ready for the return of Baltimore-bound cargo, and how will your operations adapt to the renewed access? 🚢📦 #data #information #operations #supplychain #logistics #b2b #saas #highvalue #3pl #manufacturing #distribution #globallogistics #globaltrade #saas #damage #claims #chargebacks #photodocumentation #cloud #digital #innovation #automation #shipmenttracking

Posting a copy of a letter that I wrote to President Biden urging support paying employees affected by the Port of Baltimore closure, and treating them to the same level of support as aviation employees during the Pandemic. Statement of Commissioner Carl W. Bentzel on Letter to President Biden on Suggested Relief for Impacted Workers and Companies Due to the Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse Posted April 23, 2024 Today, I sent a letter to President Biden thanking him for his quick response to the tragic Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore. https://lnkd.in/erBwAsGH During the pandemic, Congress passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, commonly referred to as the CARES Act. Section 4112 of that legislation authorized and provided funding to the U.S. Department of the Treasury to make payments to workforces devastated by the massive economic swings during the pandemic. In particular, passenger air carriers, cargo air carriers, and certain contractors benefitted from the continuation of payment of employee wages, salaries, and benefits this statute provided. Collectively and over the course of the pandemic, in excess of $66 billion dollars was provided to the aviation industry between 2020 to 2022. In the wake of the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse, there are local companies and workers suffering from an economic upheaval. The CARES Act can serve as a model for providing relief to impacted workers and industries. The maritime industry never stopped working during the pandemic. While other service industries, such as aviation, were forced to stay home during the height of the pandemic, it was maritime and intermodal services that kept delivering what turned out to be record setting cargo volumes. Now members of the maritime industry and community need relief. Thousands of employees in the Baltimore region are directly or indirectly reliant on the port for their livelihood. We should support them in their period of need to the same level as we did other transportation workers during the pandemic.
