Transatlantic Cargo Under Pressure

Transatlantic trade is hitting rough waters… The transatlantic container market is facing turbulent times, with falling demand, soft freight rates and a surge in shipping capacity all putting pressure on the trade lane.

Shipments moving between Europe and the US are being hit hardest, creating a challenging environment for both carriers and shippers.

 

What this means for your supply chain

For businesses moving goods across the Atlantic, the changing market could mean:

• downward pressure on freight rates

• a growing risk of overcapacity among carriers

• potential effects on schedules and service reliability

Understanding these shifts and staying flexible will be key to maintaining supply chain efficiency in the months ahead.
