Amid the sharpest US tariff threat since the 1930s, the Canadian container shipping industry moves forward, working through labor disruptions on both coasts and cargo delays while advancing investment coast to coast. The Canada Trade webinar will highlight major trade trends, and port and other infrastructure investment, while providing insights from on-the-ground on the latest US trade rumblings and implications for Canadian containerized supply chains.

Intermodal rail volumes began 2025 on strong footing, but rising geopolitical tensions and trade disruptions have clouded the outlook for the second half of the year. With ocean carriers increasingly blanking sailings out of China, western U.S. railroads are bracing for a drop in international intermodal volume to inland hubs such as Chicago, Dallas, Kansas City, and Memphis. Eastern railroads may also feel some impact on traffic bound for Atlanta and the Ohio Valley.

Without a swift return to global trade stability, the ripple effects are likely to spill into domestic intermodal as well. J.B. Hunt reports that 20% to 30% of its intermodal business originates on the West Coast, closely aligning with Intermodal Association of North America estimates of 28% to 30% originating on the West Coast. Schneider cites a similar range, noting 15% to 25% of its intermodal traffic depends on US imports.

Cross-border volumes with Mexico under the USMCA may provide a modest cushion, but a sharp decline in West Coast demand could lead to a softer peak season and an absence of surcharges for shippers. At the same time, domestic intermodal contract pricing remains stagnant nationwide, with little expectation of movement until truckload spot and contract rates begin to rise.

This webcast will break down all these developments and more. We’ll examine market trends, pricing dynamics, and rail service performance, while also opening the floor to hear what’s on your mind.
