Golly. https://lnkd.in/ghA7kKRJ Air cargo traffic just broke another record, up YoY more than 11%. There are all kinds of reasons, including Houthi pirates on the Red Sea, but even eclipsing that is #fastfashion ____________________ “…But beyond geopolitical conflicts hindering supply chains, consumers’ desires could also be causing air cargo to ramp up. According to the IATA’s report, the increases have been “helped by the rapidly increasing demand for e-commerce services.” That assertion could reference consumers’ penchant for quick-turnaround delivery on items from standard retailers, but may also encompass shipments from rising star marketplace platforms like Shein, Temu, Alibaba.com and TikTok Shop. Research released in February by Cargo Facts Consulting estimates that the four e-commerce moguls combined ship enough to fill 108 Boeing 777 freighters each day. And the number of monthly active users (MAUs) those platforms have continues to increase…” _____________________ Even though it’s more expensive than freighter-shipping, air cargo it’s not that much more expensive any more: “…2021 IATA data shows that shipping by air used to cost between 13 and 15 times as much as shipping via freighter. But, as of 2021, that decreased to three to five times as much…” Of course the true cost is in GHGs, which are injected directly into the upper atmosphere. At this rate, any gains from #SAF will eclipsed by the increase in the number of flights and fleets. Regionalization? #climate #logistics #supplychains Robert C. Wolcott

🔔 Warning of peak season airfreight capacity challenges out of Asia As the peak airfreight season approaches, cargo owners face challenges securing capacity from Asia due to congestion and rising demand. Dimerco reports that large e-commerce firms have booked many charter flights, limiting availability. Consumer electronics shipments, including iPhone 16s from China, are driving spot rates up to 9−10 per kg. Southeast Asia is particularly affected, with backlogs at transit points like Hong Kong and Taiwan. The Philippines is in a critical situation, facing rejected bookings and delays at Manila port. Vietnam's gateways are also experiencing backlogs, impacting exports to North America and Europe. Overall, airfreight capacity is tight across multiple regions, with increasing rates expected from China to both North America and Europe. Despite these challenges, competition for airlift from ocean transport appears minimal, as ocean container rates have significantly declined. #airfreight #peakseason #capacity https://lnkd.in/d6ghgxiZ

Hope to be your first choice for logistics service. For the analysis of the recent market situation： Congestion in Singapore & nearby Asian ports reportedly impacting key Sailings VESSELS are now reportedly having to wait upto seven days for a berth at Singapore, versus normal conditions where at most a vessel had a half day wait for a berth, according to a report Singapore, they believe, is the current epicentre of the backlogs. There are up to 450,000 TEU in the queue, Contributing to the backlog is the dramatic increase in transit times for containers coming out of Asia. It has caused shipping companies to push every available vessel into service and, will force them to extend their charters. Major carriers have repeatedly warned of the impact the Red Sea diversions are having on their services. Meanwhile, nearly half of all Asia-Europe westbound sailings have failed to depart on time as congestion escalates in Asian ports, It said that last week only six out of 11 Asia-North Europe sailings departed on schedule, with congestion at Singapore and Tanjung Pelepas severely disrupting the market. The strain has reportedly also shifted to Port Klang & Tanjung Pelepas in Malaysia. Waiting times have also risen across all main Chinese port regions, with Shanghai and Qingdao experiencing the longest delays. Ships have had to wait as long as five days to berth in the world’s busiest port Shanghai, it is learnt, where logjams are at their highest since Covid. S&P vessel-tracking data had showed 50 containerships in Shanghai, including at anchorage. Some had been in the port since last week, as per a report.

Strategic Combination

Japanese logistics firm Kintetsu World Express (KWE) has announced a strategic agreement with International Airlines Group (IAG) Cargo division to co-purchase 640,000 liters of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). This collaboration aims to significantly reduce KWE's scope 3 emissions, which are primarily generated from air freight forwarding. Nobutoshi Torii, President and CEO of KWE, emphasized the importance of this initiative, stating, “SAF remains the most effective way to reduce our largest scope 3 emissions which come from air freight forwarding. We are proud and delighted to be working with IAG Cargo, our long-time business partner. Together, we look forward to leading the decarbonization of the industry.” The agreement will see KWE partially fund the purchase of 640,000 liters of SAF, which will play a critical role in reducing the company's supply chain scope 3 emissions. The SAF, certified by ISCC - International Sustainability and Carbon Certification, is produced from used cooking oil and food waste. This innovative fuel boasts a more than 90% improvement in lifecycle emissions compared to conventional jet fuel, and will reduce over 1,800 tonnes of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on a lifecycle basis for KWE. Saleem Saeed, Sustainability Manager at IAG Cargo, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, noting, “This marks our first SAF partnership in Asia, and we are delighted to support KWE to address scope 3 emissions for their supply chain. We are committed to minimizing our environmental impact and contributing to the wider sustainability goals of the air cargo industry. This is a great example of how we can help our customers in their decarbonization efforts.” This partnership exemplifies KWE's and IAG Cargo's dedication to sustainability and reducing environmental impact. By investing in SAF, both companies are making significant strides towards decarbonizing the air cargo industry and promoting greener supply chain practices.

High Value Shipment from EU to US? SFS capability is not restricted to only Asia, we operate a global network of specialist partners over 50 countries capable of managing challenging cold chain shipments at moments notice. When SFS SG was given a moment's notice if we can collect a high value +2°C to +8°C pharmaceutical shipment within 3 days, we double quick time presented the pricing, the pallet shipper brand, how we are going to pack, the facility capabilities and risk management as the shipment will take about 7 days with indirect flight and customs declaration to complete whereas the packaging is good for only 5 days. Hence, we need to manage the external temperature, that means we need to have real time visibility. The customer accepted our offer and gave us the go ahead as the shipment is very urgent. Looking at the picture below, there are so many graphs and you need to be highly trained to understand and react based on the temperature graph for light sensor, humidity, temperature and location. Each data allows you to analyse and predict what you need to do next. We are familiar with many brands of thermal packaging in the market place each has its own characteristics. #riskmanagement #pharmacoldchain #specialtycourier #premiumcourier

📢 Booming intra-Asia trade pushes container traffic to new monthly record In May, global container traffic reached a new monthly peak, driven mainly by a substantial increase in intra-Asia trade according to Container Trade Statistics (CTS) data. Intra-Asia volumes grew by 14.4% year on year to over 4.5 million teu. The Far East-North America trade saw a 5.9% increase, totaling over 2 million teu, while Far East-Europe trades grew by 2.9% to over 1.5 million teu. Spot rate hikes on transpacific and Asia-Europe trades are reflected in the CTS price index, with significant growth in the Far East-North America and Far East-Europe indices. Contract rates are being influenced by carrier and shipper negotiations, with shifts in contract duration and renewal timing. The impact of Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping has also altered trade dynamics. Secondary trades, such as Far East-Middle East/India, Far East-Latin America, and Far East-Southern Africa, have experienced spikes in demand and prices, with substantial growth in volumes and price indices across these routes. #containershipping #intra-Asia #logistics https://lnkd.in/dNVpPTeP

📢 Singapore Revitalizes Unused Terminals To Ease Shipping Delays In a strategic move to mitigate persistent shipping bottlenecks, Singapore has announced the reopening of previously mothballed container terminals. This insightful article by Container News, a leading voice in logistics and shipping industry news, delves into how this decision is set to significantly improve cargo handling efficiency in one of the world’s busiest ports. Singapore processed a staggering 13.36 million TEU (twenty-foot equivalent units) between January and April, marking an impressive 9% increase compared to the same period last year. However, this surge in container volumes led to longer wait times for vessels seeking berths. While most container ships are berthed upon arrival, some have had to wait up to five days—a challenge exacerbated by off-schedule arrivals and increased demand. For our valued clients and prospects at John S. James Co., this development is particularly relevant.

Yang Ming chief financial officer Peter Su said today he believes container shipping has become so chaotic that it is hard to explain port omissions and skipped sailings to shippers “The market has become chaotic to the point that it’s impossible to explain skipped sailings. Obviously, arrivals in South-east Asia have been delayed because of port congestion, and for liner operators, omitting ports is a last resort.” Linerlytica's Tan Hua Joo said: “The correction will only come about when ships return to Suez and the supply shortage is resolved. This could be months away.” Martina Li reports. #containershipping #oceanshipping #oceanfreight #supplychain #logistics #seafreight #yangming https://lnkd.in/erb-F_HQ

In the face of rising costs, the introduction of new fees was an inevitable step. However, it's crucial to recognise that while the new import fee may be the lowest in the region, it's just one piece of the puzzle. We must consider other factors such as manpower and utility costs, which significantly contribute to the total overall cost. While short-term ramifications are likely, I'm confident that Singapore's overall competitiveness will remain resilient. Our robust infrastructure continues to stand as a testament to our ability to adapt and thrive amidst challenges. #EconomicTrends #BusinessStrategy #CostManagement #Competitiveness #Adaptability #Infrastructure #Resilience #SingaporeEconomy #GlobalTrade #ChallengesAndOpportunities
