The stars are aligning for Mexico’s transportation and logistics sector, with cargo volumes through the ports growing, the number of trucks across the border rising, and a new sense of stability and hope. The cloud of a possible dismantling of the North American Free Trade Agreement has receded, replaced with the United States, Canada, Mexico Agreement. Mexico has a new president, a major upgrade about to open at the Port of Veracruz, and a sense that the country could be the biggest beneficiary of a prolonged US-China trade war, as Mexican manufacturing, just over the US border, becomes increasingly attractive to investors. Yet to make the most of its good fortune, Mexico will need to overcome some deep-seated fluidity issues that torment the nation’s logistics and transportation sector. Top of the list are the increasingly disruptive security issues on trucks and trains.

This webcast, a primer for the 2nd Annual JOC Mexico Trade Conference in Mexico City in July, will analyze the state of the Mexican container shipping, transportation and logistics market, with an emphasis on the following issues, challenges and trends:

• The import-export outlook
• The impact of new trade agreements
• Port efficiency and disruption
• The regulatory landscape
• Sector-specific analysis

Growth in containerized cargo volumes through Canadian freight networks is shifting into a slower gear two year after surging in 2017. Even so, containerized cargo is set to keep expanding in the mid-single digits, thanks to new trade pacts and an expanding domestic economy. Year-over-year growth in imports through the top four Canadian ports slowed to 3.1 percent in 2018 after jumping 13.3 percent in 2017. Containerized exports increased 3.5 percent last year after expanding 6.5 percent in 2017. At the same time, broader Canadian economic growth is slowing, and consumer demand may weaken, putting renewed pressure on the need to better enable exports.

This webcast, a primer for the 3rd Annual JOC Canada Trade Conference in Toronto, will analyze the state of the Canadian container shipping, transportation, and logistics market, with an emphasis on the following issues, challenges, and trends:

• The import-export outlook
