This comes after an alarming increase in April’s year-to-year reports. According to Mexico’s Railway Transport Regulatory Agency, the states of Guanajuato, Coahuila, and Aguascalientes reported 52, 44, and 35 cases respectively, leading the statistics. The most targeted commodities were industrial products, construction materials, auto parts, and grains. Cement and tires heading their respective categories. This tendency accentuates the importance of freight insurance. Not only extreme weather and accidents are unforeseen, but cargo theft is also, unfortunately, another risk.

China port explosion hinders container trade A hazmat incident in Ningbo, the world’s third-busiest container port, is expected to have cascading effects on trans-Pacific trade and on supply chains. In the midst of the peak shipping season, the shutdown of Ningbo Port will disrupt ocean schedules and create further delays on container availability, as warned by Christian Roeloffs, co-founder and CEO of Container xChange. The closure comes at the worst time, as record peak volumes for North America were expected this August. Routes through other ports can be evaluated, but due to congestion, delays should be anticipated. If your supply or production chain is being affected by this event, we offer you different alternatives through airfreight.

Set to go into effect last Thursday, the increase on Chinese imports tariffs was delayed for two weeks, as announced by the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR). They are now under review, and a final determination is expected in mid-August. The tariffs would then become effective two weeks later. Said increase was announced in May, stating that the new higher tariffs on imports would be applied to ship-to-shore cranes, electric vehicles, lithium-ion EV batteries, steel, aluminum, semiconductor ships, solar cells, and medical products. The plan is to have them be phased in over the next three years, being electric vehicles, solar cells, steel, aluminum, and medical products, the cargo whose import tariffs would increase in 2024. +52 (81) 8174 8000 www.crossdock.mx #worldnews #chineseevs #chinesetariffs #chineseimports #airfreight #seafreight #internationallogistics #globaltrade

As mentioned before, several trade routes have experienced a notable surge in ocean shipping rates due to several factors, including the increasing cost of rerouting shipments to avoid the now long-term Red Sea conflicts, the impact of sanctions on Chinese imports, market demands, and inflation. To mitigate this, it is important to consider your supply chain’s needs and particularities with the help of your freight provider. In some cases, the following strategies might be helpful. 1.⁠ ⁠Diversifying ports and carriers to avoid congestion or strikes, which might reduce delays and therefore cost. 2.⁠ ⁠Using a Non-vessel Operating Common Carrier (NVOCC). By offering a broader access to carriers, capacity, navigation schedules, and ports, it makes it easier to divert cargo when needed. 3.⁠ ⁠Reaping the benefits of other freight formats like Less than Container Load (LCL) or a combination of formats. The purpose here is to use the right mode of shipment to maintain inventory levels by keeping freight moving. 4.⁠ ⁠For critical shipments, considering air cargo or LCL services might be a good solution. 5.⁠ ⁠Considering triangulation. Some carriers offer special deals to costumers that accept triangulation of containers. 6.⁠ ⁠Optimizing routes is always important to lower freight costs. 7.⁠ ⁠Optimizing cargo packing by customizing it to the size of the container. Besides reducing damage by limiting the movement inside the container during transit, it can also reduce wasted space. 8.⁠ ⁠Planning carefully and managing timelines effectively reduces the need for urgent shipments, which generally incur in heavy costs. To navigate the rising costs, three things are key: clear communication between customer and freight provider, flexibility, and monitoring market conditions on an ongoing basis.
