Depending on the source, upwards of 90% of freight travels by ocean at some point, meaning sea shipping ties in with every freight mode, just about every shipper, and just about every customer - worldwide. On this edition of The Intermodal Logistics Podcast, we focus on ocean cargo with Xeneta Chief Analyst Peter Sand.
We begin by going over what goes into container shipping rates, what Xeneta does to monitor, inform and connect shippers with carriers, and why knowledge is power in navigating the sea freight industry. Then, Peter offers his thoughts on the marketplace today, including the continuing impacts of Red Sea rerouting, why the East Coast and West Coast are so vastly different right now rate-wise, and which shippers should be jumping on contracts versus sticking with spot.
He also explains index-linked contracts and why they could be the way to go for many shippers - especially during volatile situations. And of course, we address the Trump Administration's tariff policies and how they're impacting supply chains - both directly and indirectly. Finally, Peter offers insights as to what may be ahead in the coming months and year.
