TACKLE CRITICAL SUPPLY CHAIN CHALLENGES FOR THE FUTURE

In the last two decades the global economy has undergone considerable transformation, with huge implications for logistics and supply chain management. A powerful mix of demand and supply side factors means that further re-structuring is probable. The shift of the economic balance of power towards Asia; increasing supply chain risk; the price of oil; further mergers and acquisitions; nearshoring/re-shoring and even 3D Printing are just some of the issues which we will need to contend with.

Zero Ready Framework Ensuring shipping can deliver our zero emissions future

whitePaper | November 10, 2022

Shipping faces a critical challenge. The energy transition is well underway and ocean going zero carbon ships must be in service by 2030. The industry is currently focussed on delivering zero Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions by fuelling with renewably sourced ammonia, hydrogen or methanol. But solutions for widespread deployment are not ready yet and ships built today have expected lifetimes of 20-30 years. So, the industry now thinks in terms of ‘readiness’, the ability to ensure that a vessel can use zero carbon fuel once this becomes feasible, either by building new vessels that have this capability from the day they are built, or by ensuring existing vessels can be easily converted.

What is LTL Freight.

whitePaper | November 24, 2022

Sometimes you’ll have freight that is too large to send with a parcel provider, like the US Postal Service, but too small to fill a standard truck. Most often, trying to move your freight as a parcel or truckload shipment would be costly because it’s not the ideal size for those providers. This is where LTL shipping comes in! LTL is an industry acronym that stands for “less-than-truckload”. LTL refers to those shipments that are, quite literally, less than a truckload. They do not need all the space provided in a standard truck trailer because of their size and/or weight. In this case, you’ll find using an LTL carrier is more cost-effective than using a truckload carrier for your freight.
