US refrigerated container volumes have shrunk this year, but the disruption hasn’t let up. Early peak seasons on outbound trades from Asia, coupled with reduced capacity from higher port congestion and tied to the Hormuz Strait, have sent importers scrambling for space; reefer importers included. US tariffs have taken a toll, pulling down laden reefer imports by 14.2% in the first quarter. Increased US consumer demand for protein, driven by GLP-1 uptake, has also hampered meat exports, which make up more than half of containerized reefer outbound shipments. Meat exports fell 7% year over year in the third quarter, while total US reefer exports dropped 8.7% in the same period.

Persistent port congestion in North European ports has held trans-Atlantic schedule reliability below 45% all year. The delays are limiting available vessel capacity and causing carriers to skip ports or blank sailings, with June on-time performance from North Europe to the US East Coast falling to 38% and to 30% out of the Mediterranean. Strong European import volume from Asia is keeping yards under pressure, with Rotterdam and Antwerp regularly exceeding the critical level of 90%, delaying the loading of US-bound boxes and leading to localized equipment shortages. Demand on the trans-Atlantic has begun to slow into the summer, with rates easing after climbing steadily since March. As shippers look ahead to the last quarter and beyond, what can they expect on the trans-Atlantic? Europe congestion is going nowhere, and if demand weakens further, will carriers start ramping up blank sailings? And what will that mean for agreed allocations on the trade lane?

Join us for a Journal of Commerce webcast as a panel of experts puts the trans-Atlantic container trade under the spotlight.

The war in the Middle East continues to disrupt the global economy and crimp business confidence. But the impact on the breakbulk and project cargo sector is lumpy as some regions and cargoes are faring better than others. Demand for wind components, power generators, turbines and battery energy storage systems (BESS) continue to keep the heavy-lift multipurpose fleet busy, while for the breakbulk sector, volumes of steel and forest products remain high.

This webcast will examine cargo demand and multipurpose/heavy-lift fleet supply and makeup amid a tumultuous geopolitical environment. Join Breakbulk and Project Cargo Senior Research Analyst Susan Oatway as she presents the latest forecast from the Journal of Commerce Breakbulk Quarterly Report.
