An extraordinary reconfiguring of truckload capacity is upsetting what was once a “normal” cyclical cycle in trucking, pushing rates higher despite only moderate, at best, improvement in demand. Shippers are looking at structural changes that will lead to higher trucking costs in the second half and beyond, and they’ll need to adjust strategies to contain costs, where they can. The truckload sector faces regulatory change it hasn’t seen before, with new state and federal laws and court decisions piling on federal rulemakings aimed at getting unsafe truck drivers off the road. Those enforcement efforts are winnowing truckload capacity, which stimulates spot and contract rates. Some freight is shifting to less-than-truckload (LTL) carriers, as well as intermodal rail, as truckload capacity tightens. LTL carriers are positioning themselves to protect rate hikes and to open routes to new types of freight beyond the traditional domestic industrial LTL base. And third parties of various types are increasingly interested in LTL. In this webcast, experts will discuss how these trends will impact shippers and how they can respond.

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.
