Early today (August 22), Canada’s two largest railways—the Canadian National Railway Company (CN) and Canadian Pacific Kansas City Limited (CPKC)—locked out more than 9,000 employees, shutting down the country’s freight rail network. The stakes for both Canada and the U.S. are massive, with billions of dollars (and entire industries) on the line. Here’s what we know so far about the potential impact on U.S. and Canadian supply chains, and the advice we’re sharing with Flexport customers 👉https://flx.to/lockout-LI

🌊 Weekly Freight Market Update Alert 🌊 Here’s what we’re monitoring: 🛤️ Canada Railroad Labor Negotiations: Canada’s two largest railways – Canadian National Railway (CN) and Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) – have locked out more than 9,000 workers represented by the Teamsters labor union after contract negotiations broke down. 🚢 Transpacific Eastbound (TPEB) Ocean Route: While clients are currently reporting healthy inventory levels, a potential softening in demand is anticipated in the coming weeks. Adverse weather conditions around the Cape of Good Hope (COGH) are expected to lead to further delays and capacity challenges for the U.S. East Coast. 🚢 Far East Westbound (FEWB) Ocean Route: Floating rates are beginning to decline in the second half of August, a pattern that will extend into early September. That said, they remain relatively high. ✈️ Air: Northern China’s market is picking up on both FEWB and TPEB routes due to a surge in volume from ecommerce, Apple NPI, and other traditional air cargo clients. Check out the full update below for more details, and subscribe today! 📦🌊 #supplychain #logistics #freightmarket #freightindustry #oceanfreight #oceancargo #oceanshipping #airfreight #aircargo #airshipping #trucking #intermodal #railfreight

Our partnership with Flexport.org has been one of great impact and if possible, even greater enjoyment. Their support has allowed us to expand our programs, providing access to medicine for people around the world. They’ve enabled us to work with urgency in countries where there are critical gaps to address. And most importantly, they always look for ways to say, “We can do that!” when we present them with the unique challenges of working in the global health space. Thanks for all you do Flexport! MAP International
Earlier this year, MAP International and Flexport.org partnered to get critical medicines to displaced people in Burkina Faso. There, the humanitarian crisis is often overlooked. "At MAP International, we say that everyone gets sick, but not everyone gets medicine," said Brooke Allison, Director of Programs at MAP International. "Our partnership with Flexport.org thrives because we work toward a joint mission to help those in need, and also understand what it takes to efficiently ship large quantities of medicines so that more people who get sick have access. That shared vision is what makes this partnership so successful." Learn more about MAP International's work at https://www.map.org/.
