Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at 7LFreight by WebCargo! We're grateful for our incredible customers, partners, and team who make everything we do possible. #thanksgiving #turkey #FreightSimplified

With the 7LFreight by WebCargo and WebCargo by Freightos teams back from a fantastic The International Air Cargo Association TIACA #ACF2024 in Miami, its time to take a breather. For those who weren’t there to bask in all things air cargo, here’s what folks were mostly talking about (we’re ignoring the air cargo digitization because it’s obvious that was the talk of the town). 🛒 The E-commerce Capacity Paradox: While everyone expected rate normalization, e-commerce giants like Temu and Shein continue to consume capacity at unprecedented rates. This isn’t a temporary trend - it’s a fundamental reshaping of air cargo economics across entire trade lanes. Time and legislation will tell if it continues. ✈️ The Great Route Rebalancing: While new daily services are launching to U.S. markets (Turkish Airlines to Orlando being just one example), Southeast Asia is telling a completely different story. We’re seeing severe market dislocations: oversupply in some regions driving rates to the floor, while other lanes maintain surprisingly strong pricing power. 🌎 Market Geography Dynamics: The real story isn’t (just) about rates - it’s about how cargo flows are shifting. Traditional traffic patterns are evolving as e-commerce players optimize their logistics networks, creating new pressure points in unexpected places. 📍 The Regulatory Horizon: There’s growing industry focus on potential U.S. policy shifts, particularly around imports. The market is already pricing in this uncertainty, affecting everything from contract negotiations to network planning. ⭐ The Strategic Reality: We’re entering a period where traditional air cargo models are being rewritten not by internal industry evolution, but by external forces reshaping global trade patterns. Those who understand these shifts aren’t just adapting - they’re repositioning for the next decade of air cargo. Thanks for the input from our reps out there - Toby Hillier, Berta Gorriz, Julien Triay, Daniela Barrera, Sebastian Molejon Lago, Viviana Segura, Sebastien Podgorski, Carl Shipsky, and Marisol Sánchez Viña. #FreightSimplified #networking #industryevent #cargo #forwarding

Will new tariffs shake up US supply chains again? In the latest Freightos Freight Market Update, Jason Miller, Supply Chain Professor at Michigan State University, unpacked the impact of Trump-era tariffs and what to expect if they return. 🔹 Tariffs didn’t end reliance on China—they rerouted it. Goods flowed through Vietnam and Mexico, sometimes rebranded as “Made in Mexico.” 🔹 Higher costs for consumers outweighed reshored jobs, with new tariffs likely to have similar effects. 🔹 Industries hit by retaliatory tariffs (like agriculture) saw job losses, while manufacturers faced steep input costs. With 25% of US goods imported, a 10% tariff could raise costs by 2.5%. 👇 Discover how these changes could shape your supply chain strategy. https://lnkd.in/dx7xdsFK

In the latest issue of The Airforwarders Association FORWARD Magazine, Brennan O'Dowd, CEO & Founder of 7LFreight by WebCargo, highlights how digitizing multimodal capabilities is transforming cargo logistics. Being able to compare air and truck rates side-by-side, allowing for faster, more flexible shipping options leads to better informed, data-driven decisions. This kind of real-time visibility is driving a shift toward multimodal logistics, where forwarders can choose the best mix of speed and cost for every shipment. With more capacity data now available at the click of a button, the industry is seeing a domino effect: carriers can adjust rates and capacity dynamically, benefiting both providers and customers.
