Synopsis
At first glance, softening spot rates might seem like good news — but the reality is much more complicated.
New U.S. tariffs, ongoing geopolitical tensions, and looming changes to the de minimis threshold for low-value imports from China are keeping global supply chains on unstable ground.
Just when shippers catch a break, the landscape shifts again, forcing procurement teams to adjust strategies in real time. We welcome Shippers to join Emily Stausbøll, Xeneta Senior Shipping Analyst,
for a roundtable discussion to unpack
- Global market insights and trends for Ocean Freight
- Impact of the new alliances on capacity, schedule reliability and freight
- Geopolitics and other on-going global events and their impact on supply chain– including how new U.S. tariffs are reshaping freight. More updated information to be included.
- Steep decline of Brent crude on bunker costs and its impact on freight
Whether you are looking to protect margins, negotiate smarter, or stay ahead of market shifts, this session will equip you with Ocean freight insights and strategies you need to move forward with confidence.
