Record-breaking cargo surge at Long Beach Port signals consumer confidence at new heights. 📌 JBF PERSPECTIVE insights shared by Hugo Perez, PMP 🔹 The Port of Long Beach latest report is certainly promising and indicates positive trends in volume. Long Beach is an essential gateway for international trade, particularly with Asia, but labor disruptions and disputes have historically affected West Coast ports. In that sense, it is important for the ratified contract with ILWU to provide shippers with more stability and raise consumer confidence. 🔹 From an overall import volume view, this may be a reconfiguration of cargo volumes between East and West ports. During last summer, reports indicated shifts in favor of East Coast and Gulf ports over West Coast ports. Shippers have been seeking to diversify their entry ports into the United States. Also, with the Panama Canal delays in the last few months, cargo coming from Asia would prefer to avoid crossing the Canal. This reflects how the industry responds to evolving challenges and opportunities. It will be interesting to observe how these trends continue to evolve and how ports on both coasts adapt to the changing landscape.

The history of intra-continental maritime transport is rich and fascinating, dating back to ancient times in the Mediterranean during the Minoan civilization of Crete and later during the Macedonian, Roman, and Byzantine cultures. At a European level, the development of coastal shipping was aided by the Hanseatic League, a commercial and defensive confederation of merchant guilds and their market towns. The European short-sea shipping market has seen significant growth thanks to policy measures advocated by the European Commission since 1985. In order to complete the Internal Market by 31 December 1992, the Commission recognized the need for a transport policy that would promote the free and seamless movement of people and goods. Although there is no universally accepted definition of 'short sea shipping,' it typically refers to feeder services, intra-European trade services, and cabotage services. In line with the European Union's policy objectives, short-sea shipping encompasses conventional and fast ships, ports, cargo handling techniques, information systems networks, logistics, intermodal, and multimodal transport systems.

Shipping alliances have announced their service updates in response to the expected slowdown in demand during and after the Golden Week holiday. The 2M shipping alliance is expected to initially blank 16 sailings on its Asia to North Europe and Asia to Mediterranean trades (https://lnkd.in/dgcEhmyt), in addition to one sailing balnked on a very short notice. THE shipping alliance is expected to initially blank 12 sailings on the same Trades (https://lnkd.in/dk-9s8Z3). For the OCEAN alliance, people familiar with sailing schedules can easily find out that the alliance is planning to blank 1-2 sailings in each service of the 11 services the alliance operate on the trade lane from Asia to Europe. Blanking sailings has become an integral tool to manage the supply side in the market in tandem with movements in the demand side, particularly in times of deteriorating market conditions. Of course, they can be used in several instances to prop up freight rates, but clearly not in the meantime. One needs to keep an eye on such service updates as they can serve as a leading indicator for the economic wellbeing of the market. #containershipping #shipsandshipping #oceanfreight #oceanshipping #goldenweek #china

New transshipment networks designed to mitigate the impact of diversions in the Red Sea have created wider congestion at Mediterranean ports. In this week's container rate update, Peter Sand notes that as long as Red Sea diversions remain in place and carriers attempt to mitigate increased sailing distances through transshipment networks then west Mediterranean ports will continue to feel the brunt. There is also no suggestion that decreasing demand for ocean freight container shipping from the Far East to Mediterranean will help to ease congestion – quite the opposite. Read more on record transshipments in Barcelona, low levels of schedule reliability (two in every five ships arriving on time from Singapore to Barcelona...) and why the increasing use of transshipments, designed to improve the service for shippers, is coming at a cost: https://lnkd.in/eMSD8HH3 #schedulereliability #transshipments #oceanfreight #redsea
