Now more than ever, getting better access to capacity and reasonable freight rates is essential to maintaining a reliable supply chain.
It used to be true that having a large volume of freight is what makes a shipper desirable to carriers. While that often doesn’t hurt, it’s not enough anymore.
Join our webinar to learn how to position your company as a “shipper of choice” with your carrier partner. In this webinar, you will learn:
- What shippers can do in challenging markets to get the required space and service they need.
- Why shipper of choice does not only matter when the market is challenging.
- The value equation carriers use to select their shippers of choice.

US ports will enter the second half of 2022 struggling with vessel backlogs, congested marine terminals, and inland transportation bottlenecks. What is causing these logistical problems, will they be resolved by the summer-fall peak-shipping season, and what must the ports and their stakeholders do in terms of process improvements and infrastructure development to return to fluidity? Ports are achieving some success through container dray-offs — establishing near-dock surge or “pop-up” yards for the temporary storage of containers so they do not congest the marine terminals. As near-dock sites become more difficult to find, ports are looking further inland for available land for pop-up yards and inland ports. Encouraging carriers and railroads to move more containers via on-dock rail is diverting thousands of trucks moves to intermodal rail. Now it’s up to ocean carriers to book more inland point intermodal (IPI) shipments, and it’s on the railroads to devote more capacity for IPI services. Carriers are helping to free up space by sending “sweeper” ships to vacate thousands of empty containers from the terminals. Dwell times for rail and local-delivery containers, however, are still above acceptable levels. In the longer term, ports must expand terminal capacity, densify their operations, where possible, by automating cargo-handling equipment, and by increasing cargo velocity so their marine terminals are truly transit facilities rather than storage sheds.
This webcast will assess the challenge supply chain stakeholders have faced in the first half of 2022, and what lies ahead.

The pandemic-driven disruption to shipping has shown the resilience of the Canadian system, while also showing the areas where ports, marine terminals, carriers, railroads, and others can become even more resilient. At the same time, the Canadian shipping industry is heeding the calls to move toward a decarbonized future, finding ways to make logistics more efficient and tapping LNG as a middle step. This extended webcast, featuring multiple segments addressing a variety of key challenges and issues confronting shippers and their service providers, will bring key players together to share what they’ve learned in the last year, how they’re approaching the coming 12 months, and how the Canadian shipping system can evolve to become stronger, faster, and cleaner.

Cargo shippers, ocean carriers, and other logistics service providers can expect ever-increasing pressure to assess, disclose, and manage the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions related to their activities. Regulatory bodies such as the SEC are developing disclosure requirements for GHGs and climate change risk, while the International Maritime Organization is requiring carriers to meet increasingly stringent emissions-reduction requirements. Stakeholders across the board expect accurate and verifiable emissions information from their service providers, but disparate data collection methods and a lack of visibility mean that participants struggle with reporting even when they are eager to be compliant. Reporting and requirement uncertainties also increase investment risk.
In this webcast, we will hear from experts on managing carbon footprints in the project logistics supply chain and on driving decarbonization across the maritime industry by creating data transparency.

- Market business pressures — both hidden and obvious — that carriers are reacting to, will shape their future behavior.
- Ideas companies can leverage to bring short- and long-term efficiency to their parcel shipping operations.
