Better data yields quicker answers. To make a significant impact, however, the information must be real time and provide the visibility to accurately connect all links of your supply chain. When the drayage step includes partnership with steamship lines and port authorities, vessel insight brings the picture into sharper focus. Tech platforms take us to a point, but collaboration across modes brings the data to life in an actionable way. When line-down situations and late fulfillment of product can cost companies millions, time does mean money. Tracking from origin through final mile and down to the container return translates to savings at the classic pain points. Informed decision-making results in on-time delivery, faster fulfillment to end users, and reduced downtime for manufacturers.

This webcast will examine the steps that take industry collaboration from a vague idea to a significant savings on your freight bill.

Multipurpose and heavy-lift charter rates have drifted lower but stabilized over the summer even as long-term carrier sentiment remains positive, supported by a healthy demand outlook and tightening capacity. While the minor bulk trades are seeing limited activity, cargo related to industrial and infrastructure-related markets has begun to pick up momentum. What can cargo shippers and logistics service providers expect as we move into the second half of 2023?

This midyear breakbulk and project cargo outlook webcast will examine fleet supply, fleet makeup and the demand picture, as breakbulk and project cargo research analyst Susan Oatway presents the findings of the first Journal of Commerce Breakbulk Quarterly Report. Industry executives will join the session for an in-depth discussion of the report’s implications.

"The trans-Atlantic party is over” was how Alphaliner described the trade lane in one of its recent weekly newsletters. It certainly marks the end of a wild three-year ride during which rates from North Europe to North America climbed steadily past $8,000 per FEU in the last quarter of 2022, and then fell off a cliff. The westbound trans-Atlantic was the last of the big east-west corridors to be “normalized,” but it has been a particularly hard reset in the last seven months. By mid-August, short-term rate levels were half those recorded in pre-pandemic 2019 as low demand from US importers and an oversupply of vessels undermined prices. Carriers began to withdraw capacity this summer, led by service cuts from Mediterranean Shipping Co., but either the capacity cuts have not been sufficient, or a lag effect means the impact on volume has yet to be seen. Data from PIERS, a sister product of the Journal of Commerce within S&P Global, shows US imports from North Europe have declined every month since January, with May and June both reporting a 17% drop in year-over-year volumes. US imports from the Mediterranean showed even sharper declines, falling 21% year over year in May and 24% in June. Although no volume data is available yet for July, rate levels continued to fall through August, with some rate indices noting spot prices dropping below $800 per FEU, indicating a continuation of the supply-demand imbalance. With too much capacity and no sign of rising demand, what is the outlook for the trans-Atlantic westbound trade? Should shippers prepare for an extended period of service cuts, blank sailings, and disruption as carriers impose more aggressive capacity-management measures to rein in the tumbling rates?

This complementary hourlong webcast will explore what cargo owners on the trans-Atlantic can expect through 2023 and into next year.

Trucking’s crystal ball isn’t just cloudy, it’s been cracked by a high level of economic uncertainty and the volatile events of 2023. A major strike or the loss of a large carrier could flip the market just as shippers prepare for the fall shipping season and overstocked inventories give way to replenishment. But shippers and carriers also could continue mapping the market bottom they reached in the second quarter. How much of a surge in demand should we expect for trucking services this fall? How should shippers be thinking not just about the second half but early 2024, when some see a tighter market emerging? 

This webcast — which will serve as an early look at some of the industry issues to be addressed at the Inland Distribution Conference on Sept. 25-27 in Chicago — will discuss these questions and all topics related to the trucking outlook.
