Shipping in a Tariff Truce: A Shipper’s Guide to Container Strategy (Video Explainer)


Listen Later

In this Video Explainer episode of The Freight Buyers’ Club, host Mike King delivers a strategic visual briefing on the latest US-China tariff developments — and how they’re impacting global container markets, supply chains, and BCO planning in the summer of 2025.

Designed for C-suite decision-makers and logistics professionals, this explainer breaks down:

  • What the new US–China “tariff truce” actually means
  • The impact of a 90-day window on transpacific trade volumes and rates – is an early peak season brewing?
  • Strategic insights from leaders at the Port of Long Beach, Freightos, and the Global Shippers Association
  • SME survival tactics: Logistics veteran John McCauley on stock strategies, FX hedges, and upstream supplier moves
  • How Red Sea risk, Suez uncertainty, and global overcapacity could whipsaw container rates
  • ️ Produced with support from Dimerco Express Group. [https://dimerco.com/]
