Through hardship to the stars: the UK is on the lookout for recovery. The consolidation of the railway industry and an alliance with Belgium may be the key.
This week has been commemorated by the appointment of Marion Taylor-Ringsell as the DHL vice president of operations and the publishing of the Logistics Report 2021 by Logistics UK business group that summed up the state of the industry, identified the main challenges, and proposed the possible strategy that could be undertaken by both, the government and the industry players. On a positive note, it mentioned that the UK logistics market had demonstrated impressive resilience in the light of the pandemic and the consequences of it. However, some pain points overshadow the prospects of a fast recovery. With the UK facing higher unemployment – predicted to be at least 5.5% this year – the experts are encouraging the government to facilitate access to job opportunities in logistics. In particular, there is currently a shortage of HGV Drivers that places the recovery at risk. Additionally, after months of disruptions that ocean freight supply chains have been experiencing, Britain faced the problem of shortages of popular products and retailers’ inability to satisfy the growing demand. Apart from the pandemic, the recent crisis in Suez Canal has become a serious reason for the aforementioned challenges. Last weekend has been a busy time of the encounters between Japanese shipowner Shoei Kisen and the Suez Canal Authority over the future of the 20,388 teu containership Ever Given that is now under arrest in the Great Bitter Lake. The deal has not moved from the deadlock as the sides are failing to agree on the amount of compensation SCA is supposed to receive. It will allow the ship to leave only after the payment of a $200 m deposit.
The helping hand in terms of post-pandemic and post-Brexit recovery is coming from the Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) that recently has signed the new five-year international deal with GB Railfreight. It covers not only the intermodal shipments but implies particular initiatives addressing the reduction of CO2 emission by moving containers via rail. MSC will also invest in the new transport yard at the Port of Liverpool. It is expected that additional 40 trucks and automation will significantly increase the sight's performance.
The fastest recovered sector has turned out to be the freight use of railways. According to the experts, the key for further improvement is a “whole-system” approach instead of a “fragmented” one that makes strategic freight planning more challenging. The government has pledged to accelerate the growth and encourage more integrated regional networks. The positive changes have followed suit. Logistics UK, the key player in the industry, has announced plans to create a single body of rail freight - Great British Railways. Another big opportunity is a long-awaited High Speed 2 (HS2) project that is currently under construction between London and Birmingham. The government has agreed that further electrification is required to decarbonize the railway alongside the deployment of battery and hydrogen trains on some lines. The HS2 initiative is the best testing ground. In turn, the new partnership between Samskip Unilever and TMA Logistics also aims to reduce emissions.
After weeks of suspension of Palletline inbound services due to the volumes rising by more than 60%, the company is kicking it off with a fresh start. The challenges urged Palletline to review its cooperation with their distribution centers and come up with a more effective strategy.
A four-phased plan has been introduced regarding the transportation of the food products between Great Britain and Northern Island. This part of the Brexit deal creates a trade border, so both sides are now seeking solutions. Phase one will cover fresh meat products and phase two at the end of January 2022 will cover dairy products, plants, and wine. Phases three and four would cover fruit and vegetable marketing standards, pet food, organics, and composite products.
While the UK is struggling with recovery, Belgium attempts to capitalize on the current situation. The country has offered Great Britain a strategic partnership that will allow non-EU goods to be checked away from ports and other areas likely to be affected by the Brexit deal with ease. There is currently a construction of the new intermodal terminal in Antwerp.
Austria is also speeding up. ÖBB Rail Cargo Group doubled its New Silk Road volumes thanks to the efficient cargo distribution.
The EU automotive players are about to face serious competition from Hyundai Motor. The company plans to ship a new series of fuel-cell trucks to Europe later this year. Initial customer feedback on Hyundai's pay-per-use pilot seems positive. The new generation of hydrogen-powered trucks is believed to become one of the most effective sustainable initiatives.

Post Covid growth in consumer demand calls for expansion across US-Asia supply chain: from retailers’ increased inventory stock to building bigger tonnage vessels.
Covid crises brought massive disruptions in US international ocean transport system causing months of congestion of freight vessels in ports, costing importers and exporters billions in higher shipping costs, demurrage and detention charges and lost business.
Congestion of freight vessels in a terminal may lead to potentially hazardous situations. Last Thursday, May 20, X-Press Pearl, a cargo vessel carrying 25 tons of nitric acid, caught fire while having been anchored at Sri Lankan marine terminal of Colombo for three months.
Last week the US National Industrial Transportation League (NITL) has called upon Congress to revise the Shipping Act, and submitted a proposal outlining the need for tougher codified standards for contractual and business practices by ocean carriers, as well as expanding the FMC’s authority to act upon complaints against anticompetitive agreements with ocean carriers. The World Shipping Council called this proposal “unnecessary and unworkable”, adding that a proposed act would “turn the Shipping Act from overseeing a primarily market-led regime to a “government-managed system”.
In addition, last week the United Fresh Produce Association expressed concern over one more challenge that US produce exporters are facing this year: the rising shortage of pallets. After several shocks throughout the year such as trade wars, capacity constraints and others, importers and distributors have started setting up buffer stocks and increasing inventory dwell times. This trend have sent new pallets prices surging up to 400%.
Retailers across US have also been gearing up to meet supply chain challenges such as high demand for products, tight transport capacity and delays with freight forwarding by extending lead time for orders and increasing their inventory stocks. Last week Walmart reported that in the first quarter its “ inventory was up 16% YoY as the company tries to keep up with high sales levels, and avoid the out-of-stock situations that plagued the retailer last year”.
As consumer demand remains high, retail restocking is keeping ships full across all US gateways and the transpacific shipping rates are expected to be up for some time. According to NRF, imports to the US in the first half of 2021 are forecast to be 12.7m teu, which puts 2021 on track to beat 2020’s full-year total of 22m teu. Last week, Asia-US west coast rates were more than four times higher than the same week in 2019.
Amid continued shortage of tonnage across all sizes, charterers are increasingly forced to fix tonnage on a forward basis for as far as Q2 of 2022. Hamburg’s New ConTex boxship charter index indicates 317.3% year-on-year growth.
In the wake of continuing delays across the whole supply chain network, 2M Alliance has adjusted its sailing program on its Transpacific West Coast US & Canada services to correspond with the actual departure dates from Asia. Nevertheless, MSC has assured its customers that they could continue to place bookings as the company was also arranging alternative services.
According to experts’ research, ship orders in the year to date have seen the highest volumes since 2014, whereas particularly high surge in volume is marked in boxship orders, with 218 vessels of 2.2m teu and 22.9m dwt contracted in the year so far. Chinese and South Korean yards have taken the majority of orders in 2021 so far, each accounting for 46% of the global total in dwt terms.
South Korean based liner operator HMM is getting a US$30 million financing from Korea EXIM Bank KEB in order to commission twelve more 13,000TEU vessels and expand its container fleet by 80, 000 teu bringing the total to 880,000 teu by August, 2021.
According to statistics gathered China Ports and Harbors Association, container volume at eight major Chinese ports showed 15% year-on-year growth in late April, with export container volume increasing 17.5%,.
A new Aver Ace ship by Taiwanese owned Evergreen with 23,992-teu capacity is set to deliver from Samsung Heavy Industries in July, which will break the world’s largest boxship record. The ship, featuring a new green look, will be deployed on Evergreen’s CEM service connecting Asia with North Europe.
