Executive summary

Our survey received 1,006 responses from across the aviation, rail and shipping industries, providing an authoritative and wide-ranging examination of current views in the transport industry around the world.

When we first conducted this survey in 2009, concern was running high across the industry in light of the global financial crisis with aviation the most affected industry sector. In 2010, the picture was one of cautious optimism about a broad recovery. At that time Asia Pacific, in particular, was the most positive transport market. Our survey at the end of 2011, found the view across the industry was an increasingly polarised one with no consensus on the state of the transport industry as a whole.

Why Ocean Freight Is Defying The Seasonal Playbook — And What Shippers Should Do About It

Ocean freight costs on the world's two largest trade lanes are moving in opposite directions for the first time in over two years, with Transpacific rates climbing above $10,000 per container while Asia-Europe rates decline. This unusual divergence signals that separate market forces are now driving each route, creating both challenges and opportunities for supply chain decision-makers navigating compressed holiday windows, geopolitical shifts, and changing capacity dynamics.
