ITAPOA PORT (SC) reaches historic mark in June; Porto Itapoa saw its best semester and best month in history in the first half of 2024. A total throughput of 597,338 TEUs was registered, a 12% increase from the 533,423 TEUs seen in the first half of 2023. In June 2024, the terminal recorded 109,889 TEUs, the highest monthly figure ever, surpassing April’s 107,475 TEUs. Felipe Fioravanti Kaufmann, Director of Business Development and Customer Experience at Porto Itapoá attributes this growth to the expanding Asian market. “The entire port logistics system of the southern cluster saw an increase in throughput figures, driven primarily by imports from China,” he noted.

SANTOS: this is not the only reason but it certainly contributes for the critical scenario of the container port terminals in Santos being operating over its dieal capacity... The additional costs with storage, detention and demurrage are for the account of the exporters and importers using this important port for their shipments... https://lnkd.in/d44gkRWV

Lately, the main reason for the price increase across all routes is the situation in South America. Brazil's additional tariffs on new energy vehicles from China in July and beyond have led to insufficient capacity. Furthermore, COSCO's withdrawal of ships from West Africa to South America has led to a general increase in rates in West Africa. Additionally, the announcement of a 50-60% tariff increase on Chinese goods by the United States has prompted some Chinese companies to increase their investment in South America. While the volume of goods in Europe remains relatively stable, the crisis in the Red Sea has resulted in longer shipping times, increased operational ships, and subsequently tighter capacity conditions. Considering these objective factors and the shipowners' tacit agreement to collectively raise prices, it has acted as a major factor for the recent price surge. Based on past experience and the projected price trends of certain shipping companies, it is expected that the price surge trend in South America will be maintained until early June (with an anticipated rate of 6000 for a 40HQ to Mexico, and 8000 for Brazil). The Middle East is relatively stable, making it difficult for rates to decrease, but there is currently some resistance to rate increases. European shipping companies are strongly inclined towards rate hikes, supported by a marginal volume. Monthly, 2-3 missed services significantly impact these rate increases. For example, CMA has suspended two services to Hamburg, which has made it very difficult to find available cargo space in Hamburg recently. It is expected that there will be no rate hike in June, and projected rates for late May are around 5000 for large containers. Southeast Asia is experiencing a slight increase. #PriceHikeAcrossAllRoutes #InternationalTrade #ShippingSituation

BRAZIL- Porto Alegre airport targets October to resume flights There are many Brazilian footwear and accessory manufacturers who use Porto Alegre Airport (POA) to connect their products to world markets. Unprecedented amounts of flooding in the state of Rio Grande do Sul in May led to the deaths of more than 180 people and the airport's runways and corridors submerged. As an emergency stop-gap, the government has allowed carriers to operate from a nearby air forced base, but with reduced frequencies because of lesser infrastructure. Operations are slated to resume from October 21st and the government has allowed passenger airlines to start selling tickets, initially for 128 flights per day and returning to full-capacity in mid-December.

🚚 AsstrA-Associated Traffic AG analysis team provides an overview of economic and transport developments in Europe in 2024. Let's take a look at the main points from the second quarter. ✔️ Economic Situation The EU economy grew by 0.3% in Q1 2024, following two quarters of decline. Eurozone inflation is expected to drop from 2.6% in May to 2.1% by 2025. Manufacturing activity remains weak, with the PMI index under 50 for two years, though some countries see a slowdown in production decline, while Poland continues to struggle. The #EU Commission forecasts 1.0% GDP growth in 2024, amid uncertainties about elections and global trade/energy markets. ✔️ Trade Dynamics and New Restrictions Road freight transport from Ukraine fell by 35% YoY and from Russia by 3%, while it rose from Belarus by 3%. Volumes from the EU to Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan decreased by 13% and 16% YoY, but volumes from Uzbekistan to the EU increased by 26% YoY. New EU sanctions bar transport companies with over 25% Russian ownership from operating in the EU. ✔️ Fuel prices Diesel prices in the EU dropped by 2% in Q2 2024 from Q1 but are still higher than a year ago. Brent crude oil prices are projected to rise from $82/barrel in June to $86/barrel for the remainder of 2024. ✔️ Demand & Capacity Cargo space demand in #Europe slightly declined from April to July 2024, consistent with summer trends. Freight rates fell in Q1 2024 compared to the previous quarter. The European road freight market is expected to grow by 1.1% in 2024, following a 0.3% contraction in 2023. Our logistics planning at #AsstrA remains flexible and cautious. Meeting the challenges and opportunities of the European road freight market will require proactive management of costs, capacity, and #supplychain resilience. #logistics #marketpulse #roadtransport #FTL #logistics #roadtransport #AsstrAteam #logisticsprovider #globallogistics #transportation

At the WSB Advisors Seminar on September 25, 2024, we highlighted the growing trend of acquisitions within Brazilian infrastructure and #shipping. As anticipated, new developments have now emerged in the market. Admiral Ilques Barbosa Jr remarked during the seminar that infrastructure—particularly shipping—intersects with national sovereignty, pinpointing the importance of logistical security for Brazil’s future. While WSB Advisors was not involved in the recent transaction between Wilson Sons and MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company, our industry expertise leads to a broader observation: this will likely not be the last deal of its kind in the sector. On a personal note, it may be time to reconsider the incentives and, perhaps, debate the rules surrounding Brazilian tonnage ownership. Although, in principle, the transfer of shares from Ocean Wilsons to SAS Shipping does not affect the local ownership of Wilson Sons' operations, it raises questions about the long-term implications for national interests. #ShippingIndustry #BrazilInfrastructure #MaritimeSovereignty #LogisticsSecurity #InvestmentTrends #ShippingAcquisitions #BrazilianEconomy #TonnageOwnership #MaritimeTrade #InfrastructureDevelopment #SupplyChain #NationalSecurity #ShippingDeals #MaritimeLogistics #WSBAdvisors
