The owner of Speedshift has a rather unusual hobby. He collects and restores old machinery. That is really how Speedshift came about. Finding a cheap and safe way to move those Ebay and auction bargains around the country was rather difficult and very expensive. Hence Speedshift came into being.
South China newspaper states that feeder operators in southern China plan to freeze service throughout the Chinese New Year. China has reinstated the suspensions as part of its zero-Covid policy in order to enforce quarantine procedures designed to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
The latest light logistics ideas propose that the sharp decline in commuter passenger traffic is an opportunity the parcel delivery industry has been waiting for. A new report from the Rail Infrastructure Group published on Tuesday 25 May looks at how the existing rail network could be used to facilitate a faster and more sustainable way of delivering smaller and medium-sized parcels.
The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach have been the epicenter of the congestion issue. The combination of a labor dispute, the new Panama Canal locks, and record volumes all contribute to the problem. As a result, the supply chain is seeing a negative impact. There is still a lot of uncertainty as to how long the congestion will last, but in the meantime, there is some evidence that freight volumes may be normalising.
Freight carriers and shippers are facing a crisis of global proportions. Shipments are stuck in ports around the world because of overcapacity, and seafaring vessels are being stuffed to the brim with cargo. The ships that should be on their way to deliver Christmas presents will not be here for days or weeks, yet shipping rates will continue for peak season. The prices carriers charge for transport advertise double this price, bringing the total costs up twenty five percent more than last year's rate of tariffs for trans ocean freight. It remains to be seen if global trade will falter under these conditions. And worse, it doesn’t seem to get better anytime soon!
Africa’s e-commerce market is booming and for good reason: the continent has some newly emerging middle-class consumers looking to get their hands on items they never thought they could afford before.
Trucks are disproportionally large contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. According to a study by Transport and Environment, trucks account for 22% of the EU’s road transport carbon dioxide but this amount is much less than 2 percent of the traffic on European roads.
After a record-breaking year in 2021, there were major changes to shipping prices and expectations. 2021 showed steady growth and an increase in cargo demand as freight rates began to take on that familiar shape reminiscent of 2020 prices. The year marked the highest-grossing quarter ever (Q1 2021) according to the FTR TranStats Report, showing that investors might finally be believers in the freight economy after quite some time. Having various players invested in the transportation industry should instil more confidence in carriers to allow them to employ sufficient capacity for cargo ships by year-end 2021.
Importers are usually aware that they may have to pay taxes for importing goods into the UK. However, they are often confused about the difference between taxes, tariffs, and duties. To formulate an effective shipping strategy for international goods, companies must consider import fees.
A lot of world’s cargo is transported on container ships. The container ship fleet has increased by 58% between 2000 and 2019. The reason is simple: containers are much cheaper than big bulk carriers.
When it’s peak season, you want the best for your company. It always brings out the best for your business, especially when you’re having a successful season. However, to have a successful peak season, you’ll need to have a plan for the unseen disruption that might occur during this part of the season.
It’s no secret that Covid-19 has had an unprecedented impact on the modern world. Just about everyone has changed their lifestyle as a result of this virus, with staying at home and avoiding other people becoming the new normal.
It’s likely that you’ve heard about the challenges being faced in the UK with road freight in 2021. With access to drivers being severely limited companies from across the country are struggling to get stock and orders delivered on time.
Covid-19, Brexit, and a range of other geopolitical issues are currently shaking the world’s logistics framework. There has never been more pressure on shipping companies to move goods across the globe, and this is having a severe impact on box ports across the EU, Asia, and other parts of the world.
Peak seasons such as Christmas or holidays can be difficult for importers, especially those who use freight to ship products. Where does the capacity crunch originate?
