Recorded live at TPM25 in Long Beach by host Mike King and including additional reaction as the trading landscape further evolved, this episode of the Loadstar Podcast brings you the latest breaking news while also explaining how politics is reshaping global trade. From President Trump's flip-flopping on tariffs to the $19 billion MSC/BlackRock/Hutchison deal that prompted Trump to talk about "reclaiming the Panama Canal", the event was a whirlwind of insights that captured the intersection of politics and trade. As TPM unfolded, forwarders and shippers scrambled to secure trans-Pacific capacity amidst tariff confusion and the possible impact of a reopened Suez Canal. Smaller shippers are feeling the pressure as carriers seem to have the upper hand, while larger players are more confident in their positions. With the unveiling of the Gemini Cooperation between Hapag-Lloyd and Maersk promising 90% schedule reliability, this episode dives deep into the evolving landscape of global logistics. In other big news, CMA CGM's Rodolphe Saadé made headlines after meeting with Trump and pledging a $20 billion investment in U.S. logistics. His plans to triple the U.S.-flagged fleet and create a Chicago air freight hub are certainly one to watch. But where these ships will be built is still up in the air.

In this sponsored episode, host and producer Mike King is joined by Andrew Bowen, Chief Operating Officer for UK Ports & Terminals at DP World, to discuss groundbreaking developments and sustainability initiatives at London Gateway and DP World Southampton. Celebrating its 10-year anniversary, London Gateway is set to unveil its new fourth berth later this summer, a £350m project that will increase the port's capacity by a third. This berth will be the world's first all-electric berth, powered by cutting-edge technology including electric straddle carriers and automated stacking cranes.

In this episode, host Mike King and guests delve into the intricate puzzles of global supply chains amidst geopolitical turmoil, trade disputes, and unpredictable market conditions. They cover Middle East supply chain disruptions, surges in the Asia-Mexico trade lane, evolving air cargo market dynamics in the wake of air space closures, and the rise of Chinese e-tailers. They also consider how shippers can navigate multiple supply chain risks and ask whether some have shipped cargo early this year. If so, what does this mean for the traditional Q3 peak season? Conversely, if demand increases substantially in the months ahead, can already strained liner networks cope? Guests Tom Crabtree, Managing Director, Trade and Transport Group Peter Sand, Chief Analyst, Xeneta Gavin van Marle, Managing Editor. The Loadstar Episode in more detail: Part 1 – Container shipping (00:00-38:00) Key questions tackled: How do you plan around ever-changing Middle East risk? Has European trade decoupled from economic growth or is this an early peak season? Why is Asia to Mexico the most dynamic trade lane in the world? Why are Chinese exports seemingly outstripping demand? Is this dumping and will it result in more tariffs from importers? Given record containership deliveries, what happens if the Suez Canal reopens? If we have a traditional container shipping peak season, can stretched liner networks cope with a surge in demand? Part 2 - Air cargo analysis (38:00-58:00) Key questions examined: Are we seeing a fundamental shift in e-commerce demand? Will Chinese e-tailers new business models prove sustainable? How are air space closures for some carriers impacting global freighter and bellyhold operations? How is shipping disruption firing demand? What impact will more (and higher) tariffs have on trade?

1 Shippers demand liner transparency, Maersk/Hapag Gemini ‘game-changer’, Red Sea crisis domino effects 44:21
Host Mike King hears that freight rates are soaring, the Dutch air cargo community is in uproar, and shippers really are not happy with the transparency of liner surcharges, and not just those relating to the de facto closure of the Suez Canal to container shipping. This episode also unpacks the details and implications of the new Maersk/Hapag Lloyd ‘Gemini Cooperation’. One guest believes the partnership’s promise to offer world-class service reliability is a ‘game-changer’ and will force the hands of rivals. Meanwhile, one of those rivals, CMA CGM, is close to getting yet another major logistics purchase over the line. Is its strategy that much different to Maersk’s integrator ambitions?

Host Mike King hears that the de facto closure of the Suez Canal to almost all container shipping traffic is creating mounting supply chain bottlenecks for global trade. Cape of Good Hope diversions are throwing the supply-demand balance of the global container shipping fleet out of kilter, driving up freight rates and charter rates. Added transit times are already leading to equipment and slot shortages in Asia as the market heads towards Chinese New Year factory closures in February. One guest predicts that disruption will last into the second of 2024. The Loadstar expects air cargo demand to benefit as supply chain bottlenecks prompt expedited shipments.

1 The Suez Canal crisis – freight rates and supply chain implications. AND, has box monitoring and tracking just taken a giant leap forward? 48:29
The Suez Canal crisis is sending shock waves up and down global supply chains as container ships are forced to re-route vessels around the Cape of Good Hope to avoid Houthi terrorist attacks near the Bab al-Mandab Strait. In this episode, host and producer Mike King finds out how much of the global container fleet has been effectively taken off the table due to diversions, and discovers what this is doing to freight rates, contract negotiations and transit times. Mike and guests also look at how all this plays out in the lead-in to Chinese New Year factory closures during February and take a longer-term view on what might happen to ocean supply chains should disruptions continue. Is ‘Suez’ the biggest shock to global logistics and trade since Covid-19? Mike is also joined by senior executives from Hapag-Lloyd and Nexxiot to discuss the latest giant leap in container monitoring and tracking. And finally, as part of a wide-ranging discussion on logistics technology, he asks The Loadstar’s Charlie Bartlett exactly what shippers want from the latest cargo monitoring technology.

In a more divided and fractured world, the logistics landscape is rapidly changing, and the future of trade and globalisation is getting ever cloudier. In this episode, host and editor Mike King speaks to global thought leaders about where geopolitics - and conflicts about ideas, ideology and forms of government - are directing the very concept of globalisation. If China is a less trusted location to do business, where does that business go? And if manufacturing moves closer to home, what does that mean for the long-term investment decisions being made by forwarders and carriers as they seek to serve their shipper customers? And finally, if supply chains are regionalising and global institutions that foster collaboration are losing their power, what does this mean for the ability of those in the business of trade to decarbonise supply chains?

In Part 1, host Mike King and Loadstar Publisher Alex Lennane look at the ‘tentative’ US west coast docker contract deal: is this the end of the dispute that has dogged US logistics for over a year or could talks still break down? They also examine the highlights and lowlights of the recent CNS Partnership air cargo conference in Miami and are joined by TAC Index’s Peyton Burnett to discuss the latest air cargo trends, appointments and rate movements. In part 2, the Loadstar looks at the air cargo industry’s daunting task of rapidly cutting emissions. Currently there isn’t enough Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) available and it’s too expensive, but that needs to change – and quickly. But who is going to pay, what is holding up production, and will more regulation really speed progress?

In this episode host Mike King talks to industry heavy hitters about all things Europe. The European economy is currently struggling with low economic and trade growth prospects. High inventories and soaring inflation are dampening freight demand. Strikes by unions are plaguing supply chain planning. And Asia-Europe ocean and air freight rates have collapsed, at least compared to a year earlier. And on top of that, war in Ukraine continues to take a sickening economic and human toll on the continent and the wider world. However, for those in the business of supply chain, there is hope of a recovery later this year. And things really aren’t as bad as they might have been. Rates could have fallen further, for example. The growth outlook could be worse. Most of the pandemic era supply chain bottlenecks have now evaporated. And demand for intra-Europe rail cargo is holding up rather well. Guests Mads Drejer, Global Chief Commercial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, Scan Global Logistics Hans Nagtegaal, Director of Containers, Port of Rotterdam Authority Conor Feighan, Secretary-General, European Rail Freight Association (ERFA) Mike covers all these topics and a lot more in this European special.

This episode focuses on Europe where war, Covid, inflation and a cost-of-living crisis are taking a heavy toll on economic growth and the outlook for international trade. Nomura now expects western Europe’s real GDP to contract by 0.4% this year. In Germany and Britain, the two large economies most affected by current economic headwinds, real GDP is expected to contract by 0.8% and 0.7%, respectively. Meanwhile, consumer prices in western Europe rose 8.5% last year and are expected to increase a further 5.9% this year. However, despite the many challenges facing Europe, host Mike King hears there is cause for optimism as he talks to senior executives at two of the continent’s leading ports and the Loadstar’s Mike Wackett.

Chinese New Year traditionally sees a spike in air and ocean demand - and freight rates - ahead of factory closures for the Chinese New Year holidays which start on 22 January. But will tradition mean a thing in this inflation-ridden start to the year? How long will factories stay closed? And what does the unwinding of China’s zero Covid policy mean for manufacturers, international travel, air cargo and shipping supply chains in the coming weeks and the year ahead? Host Mike King and his guests also explain what air freight markets are doing ahead of Chinese New Year and look at the outlook for ocean freight rates after the spot market collapse of 2022.

If 2022 taught us anything, it was to expect the unexpected. It was the year that shocked us with war in Ukraine, endless Chinese Covid lockdowns, soaring inflation and the devastation of tighter fiscal and monetary policies. Extreme weather affected supply chains from India to the Mississippi, Australia to the Rhine. Freight rates collapsed and peak season was a non-event. But, on the other side of the ledger, in most parts of the world 2022 also saw the emergence of the spring shoots of a post-Covid world with all the freedoms that entails. This episode examines the biggest stories of the last year and what a post-Covid world means for M&A activity as well as for shippers, forwarders and carriers. A gaggle of Loadstar hacks also pick out their biggest winners and losers of 2022. And we look forward to what happens next. Who will be spending their Covid treasure troves and who will be tightening their belts? And where are the biggest market risks and opportunities in this new economic and geopolitical landscape?

We look at companies such as Shopify and TikTok which are now investing heavily in their supply chains. We discuss integrator price hikes, US logistics challenges and the looming threat of labour strikes. And finally, we ask what Covid protests and lockdowns in China mean for global logistics, and whether a post-Covid ‘normalisation’ of supply chains will see a welcome return to more emphasis on human rights and procurement diversification. Part Two is a deep dive with Xeneta’s Peter Sand into ocean shipping markets and how to manage contract renegotiations with carriers.
