Latest on International Trade Magazine: Statement on the Port of Baltimore Reacting to the incident in Baltimore, Logistics UK’s Head of Trade Nichola Mallon said: “At this time our immediate thoughts are with the families and friends of all those who have lost their lives in this tragic event.   The Port of Baltimore is a key logistics and trading hub, particularly for the automotive sector, and there will undoubtedly be short term disruption to supply chains. However, logistics is a resilient and adaptable industry already focused on mitigating the effects and identifying alternative routes to ensure any disruption to supply is minimised.” Read more here: https://lnkd.in/e6WDGiQK #Shipping #SupplyChain

Ahead of #TPM24, I’m looking at the potential implications of a surge of cargo into US West Coast terminals this year. And in this deep dive (but relatively short - 18 minutes) Freight Buyers’ Club podcast, produced with the support of Dimerco Express Group, I’ve got some top guests to help me out: Dr. Noel Hacegaba, Chief Operating Officer, Port of Long Beach Bjorn Vang Jensen, Executive Director for International Transport, Cummins Alexander King, Branch Manager for New York and New Jersey, Dimerco Express Group Jon Gold, VP for Supply Chain and Customs Policy, National Retail Federation Matt Schrap, CEO, Harbor Trucking Association Some background… Levi Strauss & Co said earlier this year that it had “already shifted some product to go through the West Coast instead of the East Coast". Clearly it is not alone.  The share of US seaborne imports of apparel shipped from Asia to US West Coast ports rose to 59.1% in December 2023, up from 56.7% in December 2022, S&P Global Market Intelligence data shows. In the first 25 days of January, the ratio increased to 64.8%, the highest since October 2022. As this episode explores, a number of factors are pushing cargo westwards, not least the Red Sea crisis and diversions of container ships around the Cape of Good Hope. Low water on the Panama Canal and the threat of dockworker union action at US Gulf and East Coast ports later this year are also considerations for shippers. How deep and significant this trend is for container shipping and US ports and supply chain stakeholders will become clearer after the latest round of trans-Pacific annual contracts have been signed and sealed. A lot of those conversations will be taking place at Long Beach, California, in the first week of March when the city hosts TPM24. As this podcast explains, many shippers will not just be looking at the cost/transit equation, they will also be asking whether West Coast terminals are ready to handle a surge in cargo.
