✈️ High-tech air cargo grew 22% YoY to 3m tonnes in Jan–Jul 2026, versus 5.8% for the wider market, says Aevean. Data centre investment is fuelling demand, while Chinese e-commerce volumes fall at key European hubs. #AirCargo#Logistics

Our Warsaw office is turning pink for Pink October. 💗 Pink outfits, stress balls and gerberas share an important message: make time for your health and stand with those affected by breast cancer. #PinkOctober#BreastCancerAwareness
Air cargo demand rose 6% YoY in September; capacity grew 2%. Spot rates averaged $3.10/kg, up 27% YoY. Shippers favor flexibility: 60% of new Q3 2026 contracts were for three months or less, versus 25% a year earlier, says Xeneta. #AirCargo
Europe is sourcing diesel from more than 19,000 km away. Around 90,000 tonnes are heading from South Korea to north-west Europe as regional inventories hit a 4-year low. EU diesel averaged €1.94/litre in Q2 — adding further pressure to freight costs. #Logistics#RoadFreight
Happy World Maritime Day! 🌊⚓

Shippers are using fewer 3PLs — but expecting more from them. 50% are consolidating provider rosters, while 90% say technology matters when choosing a 3PL and only 57% are satisfied with current capabilities. Strategic partnerships are becoming the priority. #3PL#Logistics
MSC is adding new Suez and piracy surcharges from 15 Sept: $91/TEU, or $182 per 40ft container, on selected Asia–Mediterranean and Black Sea routes. The move comes as MSC cautiously returns some services via Suez. #Shipping#Suez#MSC
Global container shipping reliability fell 6.1 points to 56.4% in July — the sharpest monthly drop since Jan 2021. Shanghai hit just 21%, Ningbo 34.6% and Shekou 27.4%. Asian port congestion could trigger wider network delays. #Shipping#SupplyChain
MSC has sent at least 7 container ships through Suez and Bab el-Mandab, temporarily switching off AIS in the highest-risk section. A wider Suez return could cut transit times and boost capacity — but also add pressure to Asia–Europe freight rates. #Shipping#Suez
20 years of our office in Poland 🎉
On August 16, 2006, office in Poland opened its doors with a small team and a big ambition.
Today, almost 70 people are part of this story.
Thank you. ❤️
Falling Rhine water levels are squeezing barge capacity and pushing more cargo onto rail and road. MSC will add surcharges from 20 Aug: €44/container for trucking and €50 for rail/rail-truck. More congestion and higher costs could follow. #Logistics#SupplyChain
Cargo crime reporting jumped 41.6% across EMEA in June, with TAPA recording 2,181 incidents. Germany led with 440 cases, while Spain saw the sharpest rise: +152% vs May. Theft from vehicles also overtook theft from facilities. #CargoSecurity#Logistics
EU packaging rules change on 12 August 2026. Importers must review every layer—not just the product—and verify conformity, documentation, applicable labelling and EPR duties before placing packaged goods on the EU market. Start the compliance check before shipment. #PPWR
The euro area economy grew by 0.4% quarter-on-quarter, twice the expected rate. AI investment, government spending and resilient consumption supported growth, while Spain expanded by 0.7%. Despite the positive surprise, Europe still trails the faster-growing US economy.
🚨 A new threat to regional logistics: the Houthis have announced a maritime embargo against Saudi Arabia. If risks spread across the Red Sea, the region could lose a key alternative to the Strait of Hormuz, driving up freight costs and transit times. #Logistics#Shipping
🚢 China is launching a new container route from Ningbo to Europe via the Arctic. The Ningbo–Felixstowe leg could take just 18 days—less than half the Suez route. The service will initially be seasonal. #Shipping#Logistics
🌊 Low Rhine water levels are disrupting Europe's supply chains. Barges are carrying up to 60% less cargo, while road and rail networks face growing pressure. #Logistics#SupplyChain#Rhine
🌍 Global freight forwarding growth is set to slow to 2.5% in 2026. Geopolitical risks, weaker trade, overcapacity, and shifting manufacturing are reshaping global supply chains. #Logistics#FreightForwarding
