Midyear Port Performance Report: What Needs to Be Done to Improve Flow
The Journal of Commerce Top 100 Importers: Analyzing the Rankings and Trade Dynamics
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.

Preparing for the Unpredictable: Macro & Micro Insights to Keep Shippers Ahead of the Market
Partner
In today’s volatile market, preparation is key. Now, more than ever before, shippers who take advantage of deep industry insights and analysis can develop more competitive plans for the rest of the year.
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.
