Our February update was dedicated to a detailed two-part analysis of how the Far East - West Coast and Far East - East Coast North American trade will evolve during the turnover period from 2M and THE Alliance to Gemini Cooperation and Premier Alliance.
To keep things on the lighter side this week for our readers, especially those just returning from TPM25, we’ve shared highlights of our latest original content covering North American topics, along with one or two special commentaries shared with our friends at The Loadstar.
- We gave an overview of our philosophy towards interpreting port congestion, within the lens of recent record throughputs at ports like Seattle, Tacoma, and Houston in the US.
- This tied in nicely to a discussion on the need for impartial evaluation of persistent congestion at the port of Vancouver.
- Our CEO, Simon Sundboell, shared some early analysis and positive takeaways on Gemini’s ambitious promises of schedule reliability and how that’s shaped up so far in the first few weeks.
- News of MSC’s suspension of the Mustang service also prompted us to provide an analysis of how the carrier’s reappropriated capacity is changing the Asia-Europe trade.
- We kicked off our discussion of how Trump’s latest targeting of Chinese built ships in his trade war could endanger the enduring flexibility of the Transpacific trade.
- In addition to our newsletters and Linkedin posts, you can always follow along with our eeSea Signals where we add live contextual data links to the latest industry news and eeSea publications.
