Stricter regulations, geopolitical instability, new competitors, and changing consumer habits are the new normal, and these trends show no signs of abating.

Thousands of dockworkers along the East and Gulf coasts began a historic strike just after midnight on October 1, 2024. This work stoppage, the first of its kind since 1977, has brought operations to a grinding halt at 14 major ports from Texas to New England, threatening to disrupt the flow of more than half of the nation’s containerized trade.
