Leading container shipping lines have cautioned that US ports and their supporting infrastructure, including warehouses and rail links, are no better prepared to manage significant spikes in import volumes than they were during the height of the pandemic. During this period, unprecedented cargo volumes resulted in congestion reaching all-time highs, severely disrupting supply chains. Despite the lull in demand, executives from major carriers emphasised that the underlying issues have not been adequately addressed, leaving the system vulnerable to renewed congestion when imports from Asia inevitably rebound. RW Freight works proactively with clients to mitigate potential risks and ensure the smooth flow of goods in the face of these challenges.
