The "Global Transportation Update" for September 1-7, 2025, details a period of significant change across the logistics sector, characterized by a cooling market trend alongside a surge in geopolitical and policy-driven disruptions. While ocean freight rates declined due to easing demand, events like Turkey's ban on Israeli-linked shipping and a U.S. appeals court ruling on tariffs created considerable uncertainty and rerouting challenges. In contrast, air freight demonstrated stability, and U.S. aviation policy shifted towards deregulation. The report also highlights the strategic expansion of Eurasian rail corridors and ongoing, albeit fragmented, progress in decarbonization and digitalization efforts, such as the construction of an ammonia-powered container ship and advancements in autonomous vehicle deployment.
