Taking a strategic, global view of trade reveals a critical need for the United States to gain better control over domestic freight movements. Currently, there is a lack of granular understanding of how goods move across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, compared with what is processed centrally. Establishing a clear, successful "flight path" or plan for every shipment before it even enters the country is essential for domestic efficiency, yet such a system does not exist today. To bridge this gap, organizations like the Intermodal Association of North America (IANA) can play a pivotal role in establishing consistent policies for domestic movements. By standardizing the starting point for multimodal moves across all 360 ports, the industry can create a more predictable and unified logistics framework. Improving these processes is vital for the future of regional trade and national oversight. Credit: Michael Darden, Founder & CEO, DFM Data Corp.

Update: IANA was among the 250 associations that signed a letter advocating for a two-month extension of the suspension of the Section 301 vessel fees related to China’s targeting of the maritime, logistics, and shipbuilding sectors. The letter also urges their permanent suspension. USTR has now paused the levies through January 10, 2027.

What keeps shipping containers securely connected as they travel by ship, truck, and rail? 🚢🚛🚂

This week's Word on the Move takes a closer look at a small but essential component of intermodal transportation: Corner Casting!

Corner castings are reinforced, standardized fittings located at the corners of shipping containers. They provide secure points for lifting, stacking, and fastening containers during transport. Most containers feature eight corner castings, while some larger containers have up to 16 to support different shipping configurations.

These important components help make the seamless movement of freight between transportation modes possible, supporting safe handling and reliable connections throughout the supply chain.
