The maritime industry’s search for zero-emission propulsion may be entering a new era as Norwegian tanker operator Knutsen joins a...

What initially looks like an unusual cargo theft case involving personal products is, in reality, a textbook example of how cybercrime is increasingly taking control of physical supply chains. A shipment containing approximately 103,000 condoms and units of lubricant — valued at around $1.7 million — was allegedly diverted after criminals compromised the identity of a legitimate trucking carrier and used it to secure transport to a Walmart distribution center in Pennsylvania. The goods originated in...

U.S. agricultural shippers are raising alarms over renewed political efforts to reintroduce port fees on Chinese-operated vessels, warning that the...

Kimberly-Clark says its ongoing productivity gains are being strongly driven by supply chain transformation as the company moves deeper into...

A quiet but profound geopolitical realignment is reshaping global air cargo flows, redefining which airports gain relevance, which trade lanes expand, and where high-value freight is manufactured and shipped. For decades, global manufacturing followed a simple logic: China was the default destination. Its combination of low labour costs, dense supplier ecosystems and industrial-scale infrastructure made it the centre of global...

Vietnam’s rapid emergence as a global manufacturing powerhouse is increasingly reshaping international supply chains, placing logistics at the centre of the country’s long-term economic transformation.At the heart of this evolution is the International Institute of Logistics and Supply Chain (IILS), a Vietnam-based research and cooperation institution focused on logistics development, supply chain management, training, policy advisory and international collaboration. Its mission is to strengthen Vietnam’s integration into regional and global trade networks.Recently, IILS signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Hong Kong...

The air cargo industry is investing heavily in digitalisation, automation and artificial intelligence. Yet despite these technological advances, one of the sector’s most critical operational processes still relies on methods that have changed very little over the years: manually measuring and recording cargo information.Across cargo terminals worldwide, dimensions are often captured by hand, freight characteristics are assessed visually and data is entered into multiple systems. Once inaccurate information enters the process, it can follow a shipment throughout its entire journey, creating inefficiencies that affect planning, operations and billing.The consequences are significant....

For decades, General Sales and Service Agents (GSSAs) operated quietly behind the scenes of the air cargo industry. Their mission was relatively...

One of the world’s most strategically important maritime corridors, the Strait of Hormuz, could soon be reopened as part of a major breakthrough in the US-Iran crisis. But while political leaders have hailed the agreement,...

The maritime industry has broadly welcomed the announcement of a peace agreement between the United States and Iran, a development that is expected to lead to the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and ease months of disruption across one of the world’s most strategically important waterways.  Among those welcoming the breakthrough are...
