Container Shipping Market Skyrockets, But Gloomy As Well

  • The two busiest ports in the U.S., the neighboring facilities of Los Angeles and Long Beach set a new monthly records for inbound container traffic this summer and fall.
  • A lot of current cargo traffic is just catch-up from the shipping interruptions of the early days of the pandemic.
  • The pandemic-related shift in spending away from in-person services and toward goods, which is driving much of current U.S. demand for imports, won’t go on forever.

‘Risk to supply chains from climate disruption a bigger issue than Covid-19’

Supply chains are undergoing a profound transformation, according to DHL and consultant McKinsey.
DHL has published a study entitled Post-coronavirus Supply Chain Recovery, which predicts more diversification of geographies, suppliers and business models as well as a more holistic view of risk management.

Lessons learned: how will Covid changes help logistics prepare for Brexit?

In March, the Covid-19 pandemic changed the world. In the logistics industry, supply chains were instantly disrupted by closed borders, restrictions on importing and exporting goods from certain countries, and barriers to sourcing products normally acquired from areas affected early on by Covid-19, such as China.
Even on the front line, final-mile delivery drivers had to learn how to make increasing numbers of safe, contactless deliveries.
On top of this, demands for …

Supply chain resilience a top priority, but how do you build it?

Covid-19 has renewed focus on supply chain resilience, but despite two-thirds of companies experiencing supply chain disruption, in the past decade only half of them have taken any measures to build resilience.
A report published last week by 3D Hubs found that more than 96% of global companies are planning to make resilience a key aspect of their supply chains, although more than half have yet to do so.
Nearly 60% of …

Diversify post-Covid, but ‘shorter supply chains aren’t a shortcut to more efficiency’

A post-pandemic push to diversify and shorten supply chains poses new risks to cargo owners, a senior container transport executive has warned.
Following the virus outbreak in China and subsequent ripples of supply chain disruption worldwide, calls for near-shoring and an end to over-reliance on a single sourcing location have grown louder.
Governments in particular are likely to reassess supply chains for medical equipment and critical drugs.
However, Mike Bhaskaran, chief technology officer …

New supply chain risks emerge as production lines restart in China’s factories

Most of China’s manufacturers are back online in some capacity, but new supply chain risks are emerging.
Normal Global Logistics (NGL) estimates that, in the wake of the country’s coronavirus lockdown, 90% to 95% of factories have returned to operation in most provinces – except Hubei.
“Several factories still have reduced production, due to a shortage of raw materials and labour,” said NGL, adding that larger factories had managed to get up …

All the links in your supply chain need to be secure against cyber attacks

Cyber security attacks happen almost daily, impacting SMEs to multinational corporate companies.
The majority of the attacks and data breaches can be found coming from the same place – through the supply chain, where security can become weak and mismanaged. Or, directly through people that work as part of a supply chain using their home network as an entry point to their world of work.
When an organisation enters your supply chain …
