TRUCKING | A COMEBACK FOR DEDICATED CONTRACT CARRIAGE

AIR | GLOBAL AIR FREIGHT TO GROW BY 4.5% IN 2015, SAYS IATA

From port congestion and new ocean alliances to driver shortages and rail serviceworries, the global supply chain is more fragile than at any point in recent memory.Three shippers discuss how they’re adjusting to the challenges.Journal of Commerce

The holiday season is now over and from all indications; it was a success for onlineretail. While all data has yet to be compiled, estimates show online retail salesincreased 15% to 18%. Meanwhile, estimates suggest U.S. in-store sales declined 7%to 10%, depending on source.Transport Intelligence

A crisis in trucking capacity is forcing shippers to embrace new strategies to keeptheir freight moving while maintaining customers’ delivery commitments. Toguarantee the trucks they need, many shippers are contracting with asset-basedproviders for dedicated carrier services. That’s a marked shift from the greaterreliance we’ve seen in recent years on brokered freight.Transport Topics

When the much-anticipated expansion of the Panama Canal is completed latenext year, cargo ships the size of aircraft carriers will ferry goods from LatinAmerica and Asia directly to East Coast ports and back. These ships — up to two-and-a-half times bigger than those currently allowed — will uproot trade patternsdeveloped over the last century and will affect nearly every sector of the U.S.economy.CFO

RAIL | AAR REPORTS INCREASED FREIGHT RAIL TRAFFIC FOR 2014

The Association of American Railroads (AAR) today reported increased freight railtraffic for all of 2014, December and the week. Total combined traffic for 2014 onU.S. railroads was 28,673,776 carloads, containers, and trailers, up 1,233,184 units or4.5 percent over 2013 and the highest annual total since 2007.Association of American Railroads

RAIL | U.S. SHIPPERS PULL BACK ON INTERMODAL FOR FIRST TIME SINCE 2010

U.S. intermodal shippers surveyed by an investment research firm pulled morefreight off intermodal trains and put it back on trucks during the third quarter thanvice-versa, the first time the survey tracked intermodal conversion losing groundsince 2010. Shippers said they expect to further decelerate their conversion ofloads to rail, but survey results suggest intermodal rails will ultimately beginregaining share over the next six to 12 months.Journal of Commerce

International Air Transport Association (IATA) expects global air freight markets toexpand by 4.5% in 2015, outpacing the projected growth for world trade of 4%.The trade association formed by global airlines revealed that demand measuredin freight tonne kilometers (FTK) rose by 4.2% in November 2014 as compared tosame time in the previous year. Carriers in the Asia-Pacific and Middle East regionshas experienced the most prominent growth, 5.9% and 12.9% respectively.Logistics Business Review
