Why do we do it? Tonight, has me pondering this question. I’m setting my alarm to wake up at 0300 to make the first flight out to the West Coast after arriving back home on Saturday from a weeklong excursion to the southwest. It would be easy to characterize the endeavor as “for the money” or something like that, but the reality is much more nuanced. If you’re reading this post, odds are you are also in the logistics industry and struggle with this same question on occasion. For me, it’s the responsibility and desire to not disappoint my customers, colleagues, and friends, not necessarily in that order. This may not be the same responsibility as a brain surgeon or army sergeant, but the esprit de corps in our trade is a commitment that is cavernous and deep. We do not hide behind cover. We expose our bones and inner core. If we’re lucky, we have people on the homefront that understand the look in our eyes and are supportive. For all of those that sacrifice for the broader good, cheers.

Performance Breakdown of Top 5 Ports 1. Los Angeles, CA 2023 TEU: 4,417,136.81 TEU Change: -9.3% Value Change: +7.5% Despite a drop in volume, the value of goods rose, primarily due to higher-value imports like electronics. 2. New York-New Jersey 2023 TEU: 3,980,017.97 TEU Change: -17.5% Value Change: -1.5% This port remained the second busiest but saw a significant drop in volume and a slight decrease in the value of imports. 3. Long Beach, CA 2023 TEU: 3,756,558.12 TEU Change: -10.4% Value Change: -18% Long Beach saw a late surge in 2023, but it wasn’t enough to offset the decline in volume and value. 4. Savannah, GA 2023 TEU: 2,410,092.15 TEU Change: -15.7% Value Change: -0.5% Savannah’s volumes declined, affected by lower water levels in the Panama Canal, but the value of goods remained nearly steady. 5. Houston, TX 2023 TEU: 1,800,306.67 TEU Change: -5.6% Value Change: +0.6% Houston’s volumes dipped slightly, but the value of imports edged up, buoyed by specific high-value goods like solar panels.
Import demand suggests strong peak season Container volumes arriving from overseas at U.S. ports are averaging double-digit percentage growth since mid-July. Import bookings, which measure container volumes based on departure dates from the ports of origin, are signaling that growth will probably sustain through August. Many thought the unusually strong growth in container import demand in May and June was an early peak season as shippers were shifting more to a just-in-case strategy or pulling inventory into the country as the maritime sector grappled with the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. This data suggests that was maybe true to an extent but not the total truth. Volumes are now peaking seasonally on schedule but significantly higher than the previous year. The lack of flattening or slowing is an indication that this year’s domestic shipping peak season has the potential to be strong, with no clear indication that consumers won’t show up. If this pattern holds, then domestic transportation markets may be at risk for an overweight influence on capacity in Western markets in the coming months. FreightWaves SONAR

🌍 Power Challenges Impacting Port of LA's Green Transition The Port of Los Angeles, a critical hub for global trade, is facing significant power issues that are slowing down its ambitious green transition. According to a recent report from the Daily Breeze, intermittent power outages have disrupted port operations, affecting everything from cranes to electric vehicles. This situation poses a considerable challenge to the port's efforts to reduce emissions and enhance sustainability. 🔋 Infrastructure Strain: The increased demand for electricity, driven by the port's electrification initiatives, has strained the existing infrastructure. The report highlights that while the transition to cleaner energy sources is vital, the current power grid is not yet equipped to handle the surge in demand. 🌱 Sustainability Goals: Despite these setbacks, the Port of LA remains committed to its sustainability goals. Efforts are underway to upgrade the power grid and improve resilience against outages. The port's green transition includes initiatives like switching to electric cargo handling equipment and investing in renewable energy sources. 💡 Industry Collaboration: Addressing these power challenges will require collaboration across the logistics industry. Public and private sectors must work together to develop and implement robust infrastructure solutions that can support the shift to sustainable practices. 📰 For more info, take a look at this article from the Daily Breeze: https://lnkd.in/ep7PX6jy #logistics #portofLA #sustainability #energy

Intermodal Container shipping is a thriving segment of the North American logistics market. Many shippers have learned that Intermodal can bring value, stability, and sustainability to their freight network. Diversifying that network can help insulate against market surges in other modes.
