Why are ocean rates skyrocketing around the world, despite plenty of possible diversions from the Suez Canal? According to Flexport CEO Ryan Petersen, the answer is relatively simple: it’s all about supply and demand. “Some ships that would normally go across the Pacific are being routed to support the extra capacity needed for the longer journey around Africa,” Ryan told Marketplace by APM. “That actually reduces the supply of shipping, effectively.” Listen to the episode here: https://flx.to/mp

🌟 A big thank you to Kenzo van Maris and Steven Jan van Hengel of the Port of Rotterdam for hosting the EMEA climate & ocean teams for a day centred around sustainability! We're thoroughly impressed with everything Port of Rotterdam is achieving in the digitalization and sustainability spaces, and we eagerly anticipate exploring opportunities to strengthen our collaboration in these areas. A special nod to the Dutch weather for becoming lovely just in time for our FutureLand Ferry tour of the port! 🚢🌞

During last week’s “Freight Market Update Live” webinar, Kyle Beaulieu, Flexport’s Senior Director of Ocean Procurement & Head of Transpacific, reviewed Transpacific Eastbound (TPEB) ocean rate levels. One notable development? Rates have stabilized for the first time since April, indicating a better balance between supply and demand (at least for now).

Across the Panama and Suez Canals, slowdowns loom large. Such supply chain crises are inevitable—but for well-prepared shippers, challenges can turn into opportunities. “If you’re better at responding to disruption than any other competitor, then disruption can be a net good for your company,” Flexport CEO Ryan Petersen told McKinsey & Company. Ryan also explored: • How real-time logistics data empowers entire organizations, transforming decision-making across finance, marketing, customer service, and more • Why ocean cancellations are notoriously common—and how technology enables stronger, more rewarding carrier partnerships • Which industries bear the brunt of supply chain chaos, and which wield pricing power Watch now 👇 and read the full interview here: https://flx.to/mck

In this week’s Freight Market Update, ocean carriers will likely extend the new Peak Season Surcharge into the second half of July. We’re also closely monitoring the extreme weather coming off the coast of South Africa, where we’ve seen waves falling to 23 to 26 feet and high winds. Vessels have resumed transiting around the Cape of Good Hope following the extreme weather in the region earlier. Estimated arrival times for vessels have been delayed by 24-48 hours. In the air freight sector, capacity from Asia is largely sold out for Q4 2024. Flexport advises that shippers focus on forwarders with strong Block Space Agreements (BSAs) and a solid charter base to mitigate delays, be flexible with booking sizes, and explore creative routing for cargo that can wait.
