As most of the focus as far as disruptions are on middle east, now the possible CN/CPKC rail strike, and the simmering negotiations between ILA and management on the east coast, the likely abnormality of this year's peak season may deliver some disruptions of its own. It is looking more and more likely that peak will arrive early this year as importers bring forward their ordering to deal with longer transit times and continued strong consumer demand. This is being met, of course, by carriers' impending plan to implement even earlier than that peak season surcharges. Add to this the fear of a strike on the east coast at the end of September as well as an ugly election season with a very real possibility of almost impossible to believe tariffs being slapped on China and possibly all other countries imports, and God only knows what volumes could look like after peak and in the later months of the year. We could see any number of ramifications from these events like terminal and port congestion, space constraints, prioritization of higher paying spot cargo, as well as rollings of the lower paying cargo as it is left behind. It is also possible that peak season and its carrier surcharges could continue for many months instead of several weeks. Get ready for a wild ride this year. #imports #volumes #peakseason #economicindicators #carriers #importers #ports #disruptions #spotmarket‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Saudi Arabia's Air Cargo Market Soars to New Heights! I'm thrilled to hear that Saudi Arabia has experienced a remarkable 20% growth in air cargo volumes, underscoring the nation's burgeoning role as a global logistics hub. This significant increase is a testament to the strategic initiatives and investments driving the Kingdom's logistics and transportation sector forward. The upcoming new Riyadh Airport King Salman International Airport is set to revolutionize the region's air transport infrastructure. This state-of-the-art facility will enhance capacity and streamline cargo operations, further positioning Saudi Arabia as a pivotal gateway for international trade. The launch of Riyad Air, a new national carrier, has further strengthened the Kingdom's air cargo capabilities. By offering cutting-edge services and expanding global connectivity, Riyad Air is playing a crucial role in facilitating the efficient movement of goods in addition to the existing Saudia Airlines.

Are these developments in Kuwait and Iraq a response to current trade needs or a strategic move towards enhancing national economic security?

In my recent featured thought opinion piece in Logistics Middle East I shared my thoughts on how the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is capitalizing on its location and adopting digitalization to establish itself as a key player, in global logistics in line, with the Vision 2030 objectives. The Kingdom's ports have witnessed significant growth in container traffic and ship calls, emphasizing the growing significance of the Red Sea route, in trade. To capitalize on this growth, the Kingdom has launched initiatives like the Smart Ports Initiative and the 'Logistic 2' platform, aiming to streamline logistics services and port operations through digital technologies. These digital solutions offer unique benefits, including real-time cargo tracking, automated customs processes, and optimized route planning, leading to increased efficiency and reduced costs for customers. Digital transformation also contributes to the Kingdoms objectives like achieving Net Zero emissions by 2060 and the Saudi Green Initiatives goals. The Green Ports project, by MAHAWI is focused on cutting down energy usage by transitioning to equipment. Furthermore, the adoption of digital technologies in the maritime sector creates new job opportunities for Saudi Arabia's tech-savvy youth, contributing to the development of a knowledge-based economy. With Saudi Arabia's freight and logistics market projected to grow from $25.49 billion in 2024 to $35.9 billion by 2030, embracing digital technology will be crucial in accelerating the Kingdom's journey to become a global logistics hub and achieving the ambitious goals set out in Vision 2030.

Mohamed IRSHAD is a dear friend and Supply Chain Encyclopedia generously allowed me to use his quote for a Post on People, Processes and Technology. He firmly quotes: “The success of Supply Chain is beyond top class infrastructure, firmly placed on three essential pillars: 1. People First, 2. Robust Processes, 3. Adaptive Technology. “ I cannot disagree! Each of these work together to create magical harmony in Supply Chain. 1. People First: - Successful supply chain is built by passionate individuals. - Individuals who drive it with solutions. - Invest in team of Succesive future leaders. - Value Ideas and nurture for success. - Create advocates for Organization’s mission 2.

Digital Transformation of Port Sudan: A New Era for Trade in East Africa and Sudan Port Sudan, a vital gateway for trade in East Africa and Sudan and a vital point on the Red Sea, lacks technological development in the port’s infrastructure and superstructure. If taken into consideration, it could enhance its capabilities and enhance its position as a regional maritime hub, competing with industry giants such as Jebel Ali and Djibouti. This can be achieved by adopting advanced technologies, as Port Sudan seeks to streamline operations, enhance efficiency, and reduce logistical bottlenecks. Key areas of focus include: * Port Community Systems (PCS): Implementing advanced Port Community Systems to facilitate seamless connectivity and data exchange among port stakeholders, including shipping lines, customs authorities, and terminal operators. * Internet of Things (IoT): Leveraging IoT devices to monitor vessel movements in real time, improve cargo handling, and enhance port security. * Artificial Intelligence (AI): Leveraging AI-powered analytics to predict vessel arrival times, optimize berth allocation, and enhance decision-making processes. * Blockchain Technology: Explore blockchain solutions to ensure transparent and secure supply chain operations, reduce paperwork and curb fraud. By embracing digital innovation, Port Sudan can unleash its full potential, attracting more international trade and investment to the region. This transformation will not only benefit the local economy but also contribute to the overall development of East Africa. #DigitalTransformation #Ports #MaritimeTransport #Logistics #SupplyChain #EastAfrica #PortSudan #JebelAli #Djibouti

Yesterday I was honored to be part of panel session for the latest Strategies for Success cohort! Thank you for the invite Kaoutar AYADI and Marie Ropeid Arildsen (Also, fantastic moderating!) The Strategies for Success Program is a A.P. Moller - Maersk program for women who want to maximize their career potential and enhance their performance. It aims to provide women with tools and techniques to help further develop and progress in their career as well as maximize potential. It also provides for a global perspective on what the research tells us about common challenges and themes that women face in their careers and leadership. Participants will be equipped with knowledge and tips on how to implement what has been learnt to help sustain their performance and drive their career. Programs like these are crucial for companies to be able to nurture talent within the company, and provide people with the skillset and the mentorship they need to be able to pave their way in their career! (Side note, I'm hiring in Copenhagen, Slough, and United States for process engineers/process owners!) #Diversity #Inclusion #WomenInBusiness
