Today more than ever, organizations face immense pressure to operate more effectively and efficiently, while catering to the demands of their customers. However, impressing the customers with a five-star delivery service can be cumbersome with the use of manual shipping methods.

As most of the organizations still use spreadsheets for the rate management process, the struggle to decode a matrix of logistics, taxes, and customs to find the optimal rates for their shipments, is real.

Attend this webinar and hear from Charlie Cunnion Vice President, Global Transportation at International Forest Products (IFP) and learn how they use technology to:

• Ensure effective change management: Learn how IFP stay on top of the latest market dynamics and adjust the flow of imports and exports in a way that maximizes the company's position and how technology helps them be a more nimble organization and ultimately allow them save money and win more business
• Track carrier performance for on-time delivery: Shared document management, workflow, and task assignments that don't rely on 100's of emails is the way to solve shipment delays along with collaboration with the carriers on the platform is the most efficient way for us all to be on the same page. Hear how IFP uses metrics and scorecards to help them track how we are doing.
• Use real-time reporting: Hear how IFP track complete orders and see if they were delivered on-time and at the agreed rate. Tracking which carriers perform on which routes, and at what price, enables customer satisfaction and strong margins for IFP.

Global trade is changing at breakneck speed, with ongoing trade tensions between major players, the pressure to reform the global trading system, technological changes, shifting employment patterns and increasing environmental concerns all working to reshape supply chains and upend decades of business norms. As we enter the third decade of the 21st century, these pressures are also beginning to redefine demand patterns and production methods around the globe. Supply chains of the future may look almost nothing like those of the past, and enterprises will have to adapt to keep their competitive edge.

Join us for a webinar on the major global trade and supply chain trends and emerging developments that business leaders need to watch out for in 2020. Listen and interact with our Global Trade experts on how to form strong, resilient supply chains that thrive — not merely survive — amidst the changes.

Currently, only 30 megawatts (five turbines) of offshore wind energy are installed in US waters, but 7 gigawatts are expected to be operating by 2030, and more than 20 GW by 2050. The first wave of installations will be off the northeastern coast, including a recent commitment by the state of New York to build 1,700 megawatts. By the 2030s, floating turbines could be producing electricity off the US west coast. Onshore wind equipment, while massive, is constrained by the need to move it across the land. Offshore wind equipment has few of these constraints and is expected to reach gargantuan sizes. Who will provide the vessels, equipment, and skills needed to deliver and install this project cargo in US waters? Carriers long busy with Asian and European offshore wind installations see great potential in the US – as does the established but presently underutilized offshore oil and gas supply fleet and a budding US support industry. The webinar will analyze the US' offshore wind outlook and examine whether the US oil and gas supply fleet is poised to fill the transport gap.

This webcast, led by JOC Senior Editor for Project and Breakbulk Cargo Janet Nodar, will examine the outlook for the US offshore wind market and related logistics challenges and opportunities in 2020 and beyond. Guest speakers are Max Cohen, Associate Director, IHS Markit North American Power and Renewables team and Richard Sanchez, Senior Marine Analyst, IHS Markit Petrodata.

Conventional transportation management software (TMS) has been on the market for decades, focused primarily on outbound truck shipments. The rise of the globalized supply chain has created a more complex transportation environment. Companies must still focus on cost containment, but over many modes, across-borders, and through a mix of service providers that include carriers, 3PLs, and freight forwarders.Join this webcast to discover what differentiates a global TMS from a conventional technology solution, as well as the four key indicators that it’s time to graduate from an old-fashioned TMS to a globally capable solution.

As 2019 winds down, profitability remains a moving target for container shipping lines, and unpredictable trade flows out of Asia and poor supply-demand fundamentals are clouding the container shipping outlook. Trade tensions on the trans-Pacific are changing demand patterns among US shippers, and BCOs were reporting tight space at loading ports in China and Vietnam well into the fall. Carriers are responding by adjusting schedules and adding capacity to Southeast Asian strings as BCOs shift sourcing from China to avoid US tariffs, even as expectations of a US-China trade agreement gathered momentum. Compounding the demand uncertainty is the Jan. 1 implementation date of the IMO 2020 low-sulfur fuel regulation. The head haul trade from Asia to Europe faces its own challenges, with poor supply-demand fundamentals leading to increasing capacity management by carriers. Then there is intra-Asia, the world's largest container shipping trade and one of the most volatile. BIMCO reports weakness building in the trade this year and believes it's a signal of declining export orders, prompting the global shipping association to forecast slowing Asia-Europe demand.

This webcast, featuring outlooks from the JOC and Peter Sand, BIMCO’s chief shipping analyst, will take a deep dive into the fundamentals driving the global container shipping market as 2020 approaches.
