Mexican ports and factories are booming as geopolitical tensions and tariffs push more companies, including Chinese companies to set up manufacturing in Mexico, closer to U.S. consumers. Experts anticipate that this nearshoring trend will create expansive ecosystems of parts suppliers, boosting cargo volume from abroad to supply factories. A presence in Mexico, where foreign government-controlled entities are barred from ownership of port facilities, would allow DP World to effectively surround the American market in hopes of gaining a bigger slice of U.S.-bound seaborne trade. #Shipping #Ports #Supplychain #Investment #Money #DPWorld #Laws https://lnkd.in/df8EfWZ7?

The World Ports Conference is a great place to meet and collaborate with global leaders who are shaping maritime shipping. Today, I had the pleasure of speaking with the Secretary General of the International Maritime Organization Arsenio Dominguez and the Head of Supply Chain & Transport Industries for the World Economic Forum Margi Van Gogh. Collaboration is key to making the global supply chain cleaner, safer and more resilient, digitally connected and reliable. #polb #ports #IAPH2024 #globalsupplychain #sustainability #decarbonization #sustainability

The looming strike of 45,000 dockworkers at USEC and USGC ports could significantly disrupt global supply chains, with impacts felt far beyond the U.S. A week-long strike would delay vessels returning to the Far East, leading to global shortages and skyrocketing shipping costs. Companies are scrambling to reroute cargo, but this highlights the need for government intervention to avoid a prolonged economic fallout. Ports, businesses, and governments must act fast to mitigate these challenges and prevent long-lasting effects into 2025. #SupplyChain #Logistics #GlobalTrade #PortOperations

Witness the Epicenter of ReGlobalization in Action! Ever wonder what the future of global logistics looks like? Just captured this stunning breathtaking panorama of the Pacific Logistics Cluster of Panama isn't just a stunning view, it's a live demonstration of ReGlobalization at work. Left Horizon: The iconic Bridge of the Americas spans the entrance to the Panama Canal, a vital artery connecting the world's two largest oceans. Center Stage: The bustling Port of Balboa meets the modern PSA Rodman port, exemplifying the seamless blend of tradition and innovation in maritime logistics. Front and Center: The Panama Canal Railway gears up to traverse the continent, efficiently moving containers to the Atlantic a stellar example of adaptable, intermodal transport. Right View: The beginnings of Albrook Field Airport highlight the crucial air local connectivity that complements our sea and land routes. Engineering Marvels: The magnificent Miraflores Lock alongside the expanded Cocoli Lock enables the passage of the world's largest vessels, embodying human ingenuity and resilience. Distant Perspective: The Centennial Bridge, the second bridge over the Panama Canal, oversees cargo ships en route to Colón. In the spirit of Jim Tompkins' ReGlobalization concept, Panama stands as a beacon for adaptable, resilient, and flexible supply chains. In a world where disruption is the new normal, the need for supply chains that are not just efficient but also resilient and adaptable is paramount. Jim always emphasizes. The Importance of Adaptability: Supply chains must be flexible and capable of continuous adaptation to navigate perpetual disruptions. Strategic Reassessment: Businesses should use a structured process from ideation to implementation to reevaluate and optimize their global operations. Dynamic Optionality: Embracing modular and flexible strategies improves responsiveness to global trends and challenges. Panama's strategic location and expanding infrastructure make it a pivotal player in this ReGlobalization journey. Proximity to Key Markets: Serving as a logistics center close to North, Central, and South America, Panama facilitates efficient transshipment between Asia and the Americas. Robust Logistics Ecosystem: A vast and growing network of LSPs and warehouses supports the dynamic needs of global supply chains. This is more than a logistics hub it's the heartbeat of ReGlobalized supply chains in the Center of America's continent, where sea, land, and air routes converge to keep the world's goods moving efficiently and resiliently. How do you see ReGlobalization and multimodal hubs like this shaping the future of global logistics?

Supply chains have experienced different pressures recently with natural, manmade or geopolitical disruption. Critical infrastructure often has limited alternatives. Therefore I was excited to be invited to the presentation of the “Interoceanic Corridor of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec” in Mexico https://www.gob.mx/ciit , by the General Directorate for Global Investment and the respective representatives of the State of Veracruz and the State of Tehuantepec, hosted by our structural partner Flanders Investment & Trade (FIT) . Ensuing had a truly interesting discussion with Adolfo Rogel of ICA touching on the concepts of Extended Gateway (born at VIL Flanders Innovation Cluster for Logistics ) the nodal functions of ports and industrial zones and of course supply chain resilience. Check out this new alternative route. #supplychainresilience #resilience #pi #nodes #hubs #extendedgateway #globalsupplychains #hubandspoke

🇲🇽🚚 Did you know that the highest risk roadway for cargo truck hijacking in Mexico is the 150D route that connects Mexico City and the eastern state of Veracruz (we have unfortunately had to pay out claims on complete load losses due to theft on food/beverage freight on this route)? In our latest BORDERLESS COVERAGE blog, we share some data compiled by AI27, a Mexico-based logistics advisory firm. Other major hotspots for hijacking include the Arco Norte highway in Mexico State, the 80D highway in San Luis Potosi, and the 57D highway that runs through Queretaro and Guanajuato. The most common categories of cargo stolen in hijackings of cargo in Mexico are groceries, wine and spirits, e-commerce packages, and household goods. (All of these products have potential resale value in Mexico’s informal markets. We have paid out full value claims on these scenarios in Mexico. When multiple hi-jackings occur, we don't just drop coverage either. We work with the logistics group and their shipper to implement high risk security protocols and continue to provide coverage). In the first half of 2024, AI27's data and our own internal data indicates that the worst hotspots for cargo truck hijacking in Mexico were Mexico State, Puebla, and Jalisco. Check out more of our analysis below. If you or your clients are shipping in these areas and what to learn more about All Risk cargo insurance in Mexico, consider Reliance Partners! https://lnkd.in/geEUm-mB

🚛 Simplifying Customs Clearance with DODA 🌎 Cross-border trade between Mexico and its partners just got smoother, thanks to the Documento de Operación para Despacho Aduanero (DODA). This essential tool is transforming customs clearance by reducing paperwork, enhancing efficiency, and modernizing trade practices. Here’s what you need to know: 📋 Purpose: The DODA streamlines customs operations by consolidating key shipment details into one digital document, minimizing delays and errors. 💻 Creation & Submission: Customs brokers generate the DODA via the SAT platform, incorporating validated pedimentos, QR codes, electronic signatures, and SAT digital stamps. 🔍 Functionality: With the DODA, physical copies of other documents are unnecessary—QR codes enable quick electronic verification and shipment tracking. ✨ Benefits: - Faster customs clearance. - Fewer errors in processing. - Improved shipment traceability. 📆 Mandatory Implementation: Since November 21, 2018, the DODA is required at all 49 Mexican Customs offices (with exceptions for specific transit and rail operations). ⏳ Expiration: The DODA is valid for three business days, ensuring timely goods movement. By aligning with global trade facilitation standards, the DODA enhances cross-border efficiency, benefiting all stakeholders in international logistics. #TradeFacilitation #CustomsModernization #DODA #Mexicoborder‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
