  Where Is Container Shipping Demand Headed?

  Many experts are telling us that, given the deep dysfunction within the container supply chain, an easing of volumes will be the only real source of relief. Until that happens, there is little light at the end of the tunnel. US policymakers are focused intensively on port issues, but an easing of volumes is widely seen as a precondition for the circulation of ships, containers, chassis, and trucks to return to a normal, pre-pandemic state. How likely is that to happen? As IHS Markit Senior Economic Advisor Nariman Behravesh said in September 2021, “Consumer spending (Real PCE) decelerated sharply in the third quarter, in contrast to the first and second quarters. So, the worsening congestion in the West Coast ports is occurring as consumer demand is moving in the opposite direction.” Could this be the beginning of that much-needed easing? What will be the situation by the time TPM22 convenes in late February? How much will spending have decelerated? How much restocking is anticipated to occur in 2022? What is the outlook for volumes? Plain-spoken, blunt, and experienced, Nariman has been the top-rated speaker at TPM since he first joined the program in 2015. He will offer his unvarnished views on demand and how it will play out in the container supply chain.

  The Container Shipping Market: When Will the Tide Turn?

  With momentum on import volumes continuing into 2022, there will be little opportunity for supply chain bottlenecks to quickly resolve themselves, which means continuing upward pressure on spot and contract rates. As a historically disruptive 2021 neared a close, factors favoring continued strength in volumes were outnumbering factors suggesting an easing of demand in the trans-Pacific. Though big-box retailers leveraged their volumes to break through port bottlenecks and stock their shelves for the holidays, inventories overall remained very low. Meanwhile, consumers are flush with cash, employment is rising, economists see a low risk of recession, the stock market is at record highs, and a normal pre-COVID balance of spending between goods and services has yet to be restored. On the other side, falling consumer confidence and rising inflation eventually may temper demand, but as of late 2021, it hadn’t happened yet. Thus, the demand pressure on the supply chain will continue well into 2022, slamming hard into stubborn realities such as labor and chassis shortages that are proving resistant to easy fixes. Disruptions at origin and perhaps a post-holiday-shipping lull led to slightly easing trans-Pacific import spot rates, but continuing port congestion is tying up the vessel, container, and chassis capacity, a key reason for elevated ocean rates. Time will tell how much such a scenario will be in play by the time TPM begins in late February, but this panel will undoubtedly provide the context shippers and service providers need to guide them through the turmoil.

  TPM Accelerator: Breaking Down Silos

  In addition to dismantling long-held assumptions about how bad disruption can get or how high freight rates can go, the current environment is taking a hacksaw to previous assumptions about who does what. Ocean carriers used to leave logistics services to logistics providers, but after multiple acquisitions, few now doubt Maersk’s commitment to becoming an end-to-end carrier or are surprised when CMA CGM begins acquiring a fleet of cargo planes. The ground is shifting in other ways, too. DP World, a terminal operator, acquired the feeder line Unifeeder and is expanding end-to-end, Abu Dhabi ports are buying feeder ships, and startup tech firms such as project44 and FourKites are redefining visibility through technology and making incumbents nervous in the process. What is driving leading players to rethink their business models? How will the picture evolve and what does it mean for shippers seeking to determine the optimal lineup of business partners? Ulrik Sanders, who leads the shipping practice at shipping consultant BCG and who and has been deeply involved in these changes, will tell us what it all means.

  The Supply Chain Perspective From Former National Economic Council Director Gary Cohn

  We are delighted that Gary Cohn will join us for TPM22 after having missed TPM in 2020 following its cancellation due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Since serving as Assistant to the President for Economic Policy and Director of the National Economic Council in 2017 and 2018, he has become vice chairman of IBM, where he works in partnership with IBM’s leadership team on a wide range of initiatives and external engagement. Before serving in the White House, he was president and chief operating officer of Goldman Sachs from 2006-2016. He joined Goldman Sachs in 1990 and held a number of other leadership positions, including global co-head of the Equities and Fixed Income, Currency and Commodities Division, and was a member of the firm’s board of directors. In recent months he has been outspoken on issues such as labor that are core to supply chain challenges, urging actions that would encourage people to re-enter the workforce. At TPM22 Gary will offer his perspective on the short- and long-term impact of supply chain disruption in remarks and a sitdown Q&A with Venable Partner and longtime JOC Washington, D.C. trade attorney Ashley Craig.

  The Regulatory View of Container Shipping

  US port congestion and global shipping disruption has galvanized the Federal Maritime Commission, launching investigations into unreasonable storage fees and congestion surcharges. FMC Chairman Daniel Maffei and his fellow commissioners are simultaneously sharpening their monitoring while working with the industry to forge commercial solutions. At the same time, Congress is considering legislation that, if passed in current form, would transform how the agency regulates container shipping. Following the chairman’s update on the FMC’s 2022 priorities, Maffei will discuss with JOC Executive Editor Mark Szakonyi how the agency is approaching a wide range of issues, including detention and demurrage, and congestion surcharges.

  What Will — and Should — Carriers Do With Their Windfall Profits?

  What will be the long-term impact of carrier profits that Drewry estimates will reach the staggering sum of $300 billion in 2021 and 2022? What difference will it make in the day-to-day experience of customers doing business with container lines? What would customers recommend that carriers do with all that money? The answer is already taking shape. Some carriers, including Maersk and CMA CGM, are using the windfall to pay down debt and invest in end-to-end logistics services such as aircraft and last-mile services. But what about core business processes such as customer service and opportunities to expand capacity and deliver quality service? How do investors believe this rare period of profitability should be seized to ensure a more consistently profitable future. “For me, and for a lot of investors, it is critical the liners use the current cash windfalls wisely to structurally improve their businesses,” said Neil Glynn, head of European Transport/Aerospace & Defence Research at Credit Suisse. “Investments in improving quality need to be matched by improved commercial strategies, e.g. product segmentation and enforcing commitments, to produce a more sustainable situation beyond the pandemic.”

  Trucking/Intermodal/Inland Distribution

  From Ocean to Inland: Breaking the Bottlenecks

  Never have the links between ocean and surface transportation been revealed so clearly as in the 2021-2022 supply chain debacle. Importers and exporters are finding that bottlenecks only begin at seaports and extend far inland. In fact, disruption ripples back and forth between ports and inland pain points, magnifying problems and adding to transportation costs. This session will unravel the difficulties shippers are having getting goods to and from ports via surface transportation, primarily trucking. We’ll examine where those bottlenecks beyond the ports are, how they affect each other and what can be done to fix them, and the outlook for pricing from ocean shipping to the US truckload and LTL markets.

  Trucking/Intermodal/Inland Distribution

  Transloading as a Tool to Accelerate Cargo Movements During Heightened Congestion

  With ships backed up at anchor, cargo taking longer to flow through marine terminals, and extensive rail delays holding up inland movements, shippers have had to take matters into their own hands to accelerate their supply chains. One way they did that over the past year was to expand transloading activities. Devanning containers and transloading into 53-foot trucks is a well-known strategy, utilized for years by shippers, but it took on new relevance during the pandemic, and many importers now see it as a savior during the pandemic disruption. This session will dig into the transloading concept, explain when and for whom it makes the most sense, and answer the following questions:

  o Why the new relevance?

  o What are the advantages?

  o What are the tradeoffs?

  o What factors do shippers need to consider?

  o How can you gain pop-up capacity?

  o How do you build long-term transloading opportunity?

  How Would the Industry Change Under an OSRA21?

  For the first time in more than two decades, Congress is considering legislation that would upend how the United States regulates container shipping. For the National Industrial Transportation League, National Retail Federation, and other supporters, behavior by the carriers and marine terminals over the last two years of disruption has shown the need for the Ocean Shipping Reform Act. If passed in current form, the legislation would pressure carriers to accept more export bookings, and force carriers to certify that storage fees comply with federal regulations. Container lines, as represented by the World Shipping Council, along with terminal operators and stevedores warn shippers that any short-term benefits would be outweighed by long-term damage. The carriers argue that the legislation would only increase detention and demurrage and slow the supply chain. Getting past the rhetoric, the opposing sides will make their case in a constructive debate moderated by JOC Executive Editor Mark Szakonyi.

  Welcoming Remarks and Log-Net E-Commerce Excellence Award

  LOG-NET's Electronic Commerce Excellence award has consistently reinforced the partnership between carriers and their customers and the fundamental importance of data quality in that relationship. Digitization has made data management and data quality foundational elements of successful global supply chains. Whether the data is coming from smartphones, web forms, Internet of Things devices, AI, or EDI, it needs to be complete, timely, and accurate. Data quality is critical, considering the consumers of this information now range from import and logistics specialists to business intelligence and machine learning platforms that demand ever more granular information. Since 2003, LOG-NET CEO John Motley has presented the LOG-NET E-Commerce Excellence award at TPM. The award recognizes the efforts of the international carrier community and its outstanding daily performance with LOG-NET's Trading Partner and Data Quality teams.

  How to Turn Corporate Environmental Goals Into Action

  Corporate shipper climate goals driven by ESG (environmental, social, governance) initiatives are increasingly impacting dialogue between beneficial cargo owners and their carriers and forwarders. Maersk says more than half of its largest customers have set or are in the process of setting ambitious science-based or zero-carbon targets for their supply chains, data it cited in its August announcement of plans to acquire eight 16,000-TEU ships powered by carbon-neutral methanol. For logistics teams needing to understand where this is headed and how they can stay ahead of the curve, this session will prove illuminating. It will answer questions such as:

  · What are the expectations of logistics teams and mandates placed on them from senior management?

  · What are shippers’ expectations of transport/logistics providers and are the providers able to meet those expectations?

  · Where are the gaps and what can be done to plug them?

  · How can logistics teams support corporate goals to reduce emissions from vendors, i.e. Scope 3 emissions?

  Shipper Perspectives: Seizing Control of Your Import Supply Chain

  Like many logistics managers at US importers, Mary McNelly can’t get her goods into the country fast enough. But port delays, unfulfilled contracted ocean obligations, and a production crunch in a locked-down Vietnam somehow made 2021 even more chaotic. Yet, the shoes found their way to consumers’ feet. Crocs expect to end 2021 with 60 percent higher revenue than 2020, at $1.4 billion. Now, under still-strong demand for the oft-brightly colored plastic shoes and trans-Pacific pressures easing only modestly, McNelly will share how she’s taking short- and long-term steps to prepare for another wild ride. After nearly two years of disruption, she stresses that logistics managers can still control their supply chains and there are levers to pull beyond just paying more.

  When Will There Be Enough Chassis for Everyone?

  In 2021 the Commerce Department, acting to protect US chassis manufacturers, imposed antidumping and countervailing duties totaling more than 200 percent on chassis made in China, where most chassis were produced. By July, the dominant Chinese producer, CIMC, all but ceased production of finished chassis for US customers. As a result, chassis lessors believe the US marine chassis fleet will grow by only 7,000-10,000 units in 2021, or less than 2 percent of the fleet. This sobering situation comes as containerized imports are soaring, up 21 percent from Asia in the first eight months of 2021. “The US manufacturers have clearly not delivered the capacity they said they had,” said James Newsome, CEO of the South Carolina Ports Authority. “We have advocated for the removal of these countervailing duties for two years (2022-2023) so that those wanting to buy new chassis can do so.” Added Ron Widdows, CEO of FlexiVan Leasing: “The single most significant source of chassis manufacturing was in China and the actions were taken by the US government to protect a US manufacturing sector that was not in a position to meet the demand was not very well-conceived.” In a letter to the Biden administration, US manufacturers argue that they have made considerable progress in ramping up production: “Since the imposition of the orders, America’s chassis manufacturers have hired hundreds of new workers, with plans to hire hundreds more, invested millions of dollars to increase production and capacity, and increased production and capacity by over 400% with additional planned expansions.” Pratt Industries, for example, made less than 500 marine chassis in 2020 but produced nearly 4,000 in 2021, an eightfold increase. But even US manufacturers acknowledge sourcing chassis subcomponents is going slower than expected. So, when will manufacturers be able to fulfill enough chassis orders to address the equipment shortage? Is there any possibility the government will withdraw the countervailing duties?

  Detention & Demurrage (Yet Again). Will Things Finally Change?

  We’ve been discussing detention and demurrage for as long as there has been a TPM, and the first one was in 2001. This year is no different. But while shippers’ complaints resulted in little to no change in the past, the situation is very different today. The old adage applies: if the private sector can’t solve its own problems, the government will step in, and that is what is happening. The FMC in July began to audit ocean carriers’ D&D policies and in October pushed carriers to improve transparency regarding the clarity and certainty around how and when fees will be assessed as well as how disputed charges can be challenged. Meanwhile, D&D is a core element of the proposed bipartisan Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 2021 introduced in August by Reps. John Garamendi, D-California, and Dusty Johnson, R-South Dakota. What would be the first rewrite of US shipping law since 1998 would require ocean carriers or marine terminals to certify that D&D comply with federal regulations and shift the burden of proof regarding the reasonableness of D&D feels from the invoiced party to the ocean carrier or marine terminal operator. This session will dive into these changes, assessing the potential for real change in practices that the FMC has been investigating for the past seven years.

  Air Cargo

  Effectively Using Air Cargo in Your Supply Chain Portfolio

  For air cargo shippers trying to plan their shipment needs in a market where available capacity is outstripped by demand, only one question really matters: how to secure long-term capacity at an acceptable price. It's not a question easily answered when approximately half the available cargo capacity remains grounded in the bellies of long-haul passenger planes and will likely remain that way through 2022. But the market demand for reliable and consistent air cargo shipment out of Asia and across the Atlantic is behind moves by global transportation and service providers to access and control capacity. Forwarders are chartering as much freighter capacity as they can find, and airlines continue to deploy passenger planes in all-cargo roles. And steaming into this heavily disrupted and capacity-constrained global air freight environment are two container shipping giants that are embracing air cargo in a big way. Maersk is giving its wholly-owned subsidiary Star Air, Europe’s second-largest cargo airline, a far more prominent role within the group’s integrated logistics strategy, it’s increasing fivefold its number of daily charters across the main trade lanes, as well as offering sea-air and truck-air options out of Asia. CMA CGM in early 2021 created its own airline, CMA CGM Air Cargo, which operates four Airbus 330-200 freighters on trans-Atlantic and Europe-Middle East routes and has ordered two Boeing 777 freighters to serve trade lanes out of Asia. The carrier secured greater access to air freight through its 2019 takeover of CEVA Logistics and further shored up its position in air freight with the acquisition of a 30 percent stake in long-haul passenger airline Groupe Dubreuil Aéro. Although this additional capacity will be welcomed by the market, it will be quickly snapped up by ocean shippers desperate to get their cargo moving out of Asia in a complete reversal of the longstanding modal shift from cargo owners searching for cost-cutting ways to use less air freight. Demand from sea freight shippers forced out of the congested ocean market is expected to continue through 2022. At TPM in March 2019 — the last time the event was held live in Long Beach — a panel session asked the question, “How to incorporate air cargo into your supply chain in a structured manner without breaking the bank?” Two years later, the TPM22 question can be rephrased, “How to incorporate air cargo into your supply chain through long-term, fixed-rate validity that won’t break the bank?”

  Container Shipping

  How Are Forwarders Using the Pandemic Chaos to Create Lasting Customer Relationships?

  The art of attracting new shipper clients took an unusual turn in 2021 for forwarders. Instead of finding creative ways to attract new customers, the hunt for space aboard vessels and planes led shippers directly to the doorsteps of forwarders. In many cases, forwarders saw inbound demand from customers they had never worked with. In other cases, potential customers they had been chasing for years turned to them to unearth scarce capacity amid historic demand and the resultant space crunch. Shippers told the JOC repeatedly that the number of forwarders they used in 2021 spiked, something fivefold or more over what they had traditionally used. In other situations, shippers that had previously relied only on direct carrier contracts scoured the forwarder and NVO market to secure space. The question for 2022 is what becomes of those relationships? Shippers that went from two to 10 forwarders won’t necessarily establish primary relationships with all 10, but forwarders have an opportunity to recast themselves with their newfound clients and turn transactional relationships in 2021 into key accounts in 2022 and beyond. This session will explore just how forwarders plan to do that, whether through technology, innovative services, or old-fashioned customer service and how a shipper views the expansion of its roster of forwarders partners.

  Sourcing Truck Capacity in 2022

  As pressure on supply chains tightens capacity and narrows transportation options, US importers and shippers are becoming savvier when it comes to finding space in truckload or less-than-truckload trailers. With freight demand expected to remain strong throughout 2022, shippers are competing for trailer space, and pre-pandemic strategies won’t work. Freight needs to fit motor carrier networks and maximize the utilization of equipment and drivers. This panel will look beyond the “shipper of choice” mantra at what importers must do to secure inland truck capacity in 2022.
