There is no “Plan B” for global shipping if U.S. dockworkers strike - Hapag-Lloyd

In this special two-part episode of The Freight Buyers’ Club, produced with the support of Dimerco Express Group, we tackle some of the most pressing issues in global trade and supply chains. First, we dive deep into the container shipping markets with Torsten Hartmann, Senior Director of Trade Management for the Transpacific at Hapag-Lloyd. Torsten provides critical insights on the disruptions in North American freight due to recent rail worker lockouts in Canada and looming dockworker strikes on the U.S. East and Gulf Coasts. We also explore how Hapag-Lloyd is navigating the complex challenges of balancing capacity, demand, and service reliability amidst global market upheavals, not least the Red Sea crisis. And Torsten outlines the carrier’s high Transpacific service reliability ambitions when its new partnership with Maersk – Gemini Cooperation – begins operations next year. In the second part (from 30 mins onwards), we shift our focus to the sports industry. Chris Rogers, Head of Supply Chain Research at S&P Global Market Intelligence, joins host Mike King to discuss the surprising decline in sports clothing and equipment demand, despite a summer of high-profile sporting events. Chris unpacks the latest data, examining trends in U.S. and global demand, the impact of supply chain disruptions, and the shifting landscape of sports product sourcing.

What would an escalation of the US-China trade war mean for the US economy. Is decoupling feasible?

In this episode of The Freight Buyers’ Club, produced with the support of Dimerco Express Group, host Mike King and his guests Jessica Dankert, Vice President Supply Chain at the Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA), and Jason Miller, Eli Broad Professor in Supply Chain Management at Michigan State University, examine the complexities and challenges of today's supply chain landscape. The conversation starts with the latest on US tariffs and the ongoing trade tensions with China, exploring potential impacts on the US economy and global trade and the feasibility of a total economic decoupling of the US and Chinese economies. Mike and guests also explore the numerous disruptions that have taken supply chains by surprise in 2024, from freight rate surges to logistical chaos caused by geopolitical events. They also provide insights from the retail sector and offer a broader analysis of how these disruptions are reshaping logistics networks. They also examine conflicting economic indicators and the debate around restocking strategies, discussing whether the current trends reflect a shift towards 'Just In Case' supply chain management. Are retailers building up safety stocks, or is consumer demand driving the surge in imports? Finally, they address US domestic freight market dynamics, potential port delays, and the looming threat of union strikes and natural disasters on logistics. They also share thoughts on building resilience in supply chains amid rising costs and ongoing disruptions. Guests: Jessica Dankert, Vice President Supply Chain, Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA) Jason Miller, Eli Broad Professor in Supply Chain Management at Michigan State University. #logistics #containers #ports #strikes #podcast #freightmanagement #cargo #redseacrisis #shipping #supplychains
