Breakbulk and Project Cargo Market Report: Supply Chain Risk — Rolling With the Punches

Even as cargo momentum picks up, the global shipping environment is in flux. Regulatory changes, labor strikes, geopolitical tension and unexpected calamities have effects — sometimes in very short order — that affect everyone in breakbulk shipping. New US tariffs loom, but supply chains can’t be changed quickly, especially when shippers depend on specialized fabricators. Many breakbulk shippers already have moved sourcing and manufacturing out of China; will they be forced to configure their supply chains all over again? It’s the uncertainty that’s the killer, a project cargo shipper told the Journal of Commerce. “You have to adapt,” logisticians tell us. “You have to think two steps ahead all of the time.”

This webcast will provide an overview of the pressures complicating the breakbulk shipping market and delve into a discussion with cargo shippers and project forwarders deeply experienced in navigating this tumultuous market.
