Fracht Logistics Report – October 2024

The logistics landscape is facing significant challenges again this month.
In fact, events move so fast that our lead story about the US Port Strikes has already been superseded – negotiations overnight between Thursday 3rd and Friday 4th October resulted in the strike being brought to an early end. We have already shared this news in a separate message.
Here’s a glimpse of what else might interest you inside this month’s report:
  • Air Cargo Faces Unprecedented Peak Season Amid Capacity Shortages- pg. 3
  • Challenging New Security Regulations for Air Shipments to USA, Canada and now also Australia – pg. 6
  • Some Airlines are starting to roll Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) costs into standard surcharges – pg. 7
  • Asia to Europe rates in decline – Carriers blank sailings as a result – pg. 10
  • Ocean Carrier alliances continuing to be reshaped – pg. 10
It’s a complex world out there. Please speak to us to understand how it might affect your business.
