North American ports are approaching the summer-fall peak shipping season free from the congestion and supply chain bottlenecks they faced last year. Vessel schedule integrity, while still far from ideal, has improved dramatically from the approximately 20 percent on-time performance registered early last year. The ports themselves are fluid, with virtually no container backlogs. Gate times for trucks are likewise what terminal operators and truckers consider to be acceptable. Retailers are scrambling to reduce the inventory overhang from last year that continues to take up valuable space at their warehouses with the plan being to be ready to receive this year’s fall and holiday merchandise. Railroads have addressed the congestion problems at their ramps in Chicago, Dallas, Memphis, Toronto and Montreal. The severe congestion those ramps experienced last summer and fall had a knock-on effect at the ports, resulting in congested marine terminals and excessive rail container dwell times. While the double-digit drop in cargo volumes the past six months are undoubtedly a major reason why the ports are fluid entering peak season 2023, the question now is, what must the marine terminals, carriers, railroads, truckers and retailers do in the coming few months to prepare for the next cargo surge? This webcast will analyze the state of port fluidity from the berth through to the container yard, while looking ahead to how prepared North American ports and terminals are for the next cargo wave.

The Journal of Commerce Top 100 Importers: Analyzing the Rankings and Trade Dynamics

Jun 15, 2023, 2:00 PM EDT
Calendar icon

The past year has been a roller coaster ride for US importers and exporters, regardless of the commodity they move or sector in which they do business. On the import side, the consumer spending dam that had been holding up record-smashing trans-Pacific volumes and rates for more than two years finally gave out, sending pricing plummeting to pre-pandemic levels. On the export side, the operational challenges that resulted from those record import volumes — from capacity and equipment shortages to skipped calls at key export gateways — also have eased, allowing for a more typical outbound flow of goods. But with the US economy expected to rebound, possibly as soon as the second half of 2023, the question now becomes: Have shippers and transportation providers learned from the pandemic-induced spike in freight demand or will they be caught out when the tide turns again?

This webcast, the first in a two-part series, will examine the impact that economic-, geopolitical-, and supply chain-related events have had on importers, and how that has played out in terms of containerized shipping volumes, as reflected by the Journal of Commerce rankings of Top 100 Importers for 2022.

Transfix’s Freight Market Intelligence (FMI) group recently published a report on the current state of trucking supply and demand. In this webcast, Transfix’s Paul Poziumschi will cover key findings and predictions that continue to impact the trucking industry, including macroeconomic challenges — tightening financial conditions, persistently high inflation, softening consumer demand, and increasing likelihood of a US recession — and industry-specific factors, from fuel prices to carrier consolidation and rate volatility.
As we’ve seen time and time again, the freight market is cyclical. When the market heats up again, will you be ready? This session will deliver the data and insights you need to stay one step ahead and provide an opportunity for live Q&A with Paul Poziumschi.

Logistics Technology: The Future of Digital Procurement

Jul 20, 2023, 2:00 PM EDT

Shippers across modes have been saddled with an unenviable amount of volatility, on both the high and low side of the rate and capacity-availability spectrum. That volatility is throwing a number of long-held beliefs about freight procurement — most notably a reliance on annual contracts and devotion to a multi-round bidding process — into question. As technology advances in all areas of logistics take hold, it's appropriate for shippers to wonder if the time they take determine the appropriate carriers, allocate freight, and find the right rate equates to a commensurate amount of value. This webcast will focus on how bidding across freight modes is changing, how the proliferation of rate information is changing procurement models, and whether it makes sense to be more flexible as a buying organization.
