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.

RW Freight works proactively with clients to mitigate potential risks and ensure the smooth flow of goods in the face of these challenges.
