@BlakeShumate has some really great points here. The more aware shippers are of what’s coming down the line, the more opportunities they have to make informed decisions, hold the line on costs and ensure their goods make it into customers’ hands.

[AGL Supply Chain @AGLsupplychain]

As the 2019 peak season heats up, plenty of shippers are rightfully concerned about a repeat of last year’s turbulent ocean freight season. AGL COO @BlakeShumate spoke with @theloadstar about 3 strategies to keep in mind for your #supplychain.

The #tariff increase on Section 301 Imports for List 1, 2, & 3 has been delayed. The Vice Premier of China will be in DC in early Oct. for negotiations. If no agreement is reached, the tariffs will increase to 30% on 10/15. Sign up for our industry updates https://t.co/7AsyZrqGOf

What I find so remarkable is the way in which various agencies involved in protecting people and assets pulled together very quickly. #logistics

Big ship infrastructure is just one of the issues facing Vietnam. Lack of manufacturing facilities, skill sets and good transport infrastructure will make it difficult to keep up with the growing demand.

[AGL Supply Chain @AGLsupplychain]

AGL CEO, @JSlangerup spoke with @theloadstar about the most significant issues facing #Vietnam as air cargo capacity continues to increase. Check out the article: https://t.co/CKvOcKSZvg

@lorihfox is correct that responding to the latest round of #tariff increases won't be easy, but building a #supplychain that is optimized, and agile through tailor-made technology solutions can help lessen the impact.

[AGL Supply Chain @AGLsupplychain]

AGL VP of Customs Brokerage Services @lorihfox spoke with @SupplyChainDive about the impacts to the #logistics industry after the announced 5% increase to the #tariff rate on all Chinese goods. "There's no quick and easy answer to this".

[Jon Slangerup @JSlangerup]

The first step to optimizing your #supplychain in times of disruption is understanding and assessing your supply chain from end-to-end. It’s rarely done and is so crucial for long-term success.

[AGL Supply Chain @AGLsupplychain]

AGL CEO @JSlangerup sat down with @AGBarrett_JOC of the JOC to talk about #supplychain optimization during times of market disruption.

It's important to note that while climate challenges can disproportionately affect smaller, local businesses, larger enterprises are susceptible too. But the larger they are, the more diversity they can introduce into their system.

[AGL Supply Chain @AGLsupplychain]

With climate change predicted to increase risks from natural disasters like floods, hurricanes and wildfires, retailers likely face more operational disruption in the future such as #supplychain.

[Jon Slangerup @JSlangerup]

It's important to note that the timing of these #tariffs being at the start of the 4th quarter and near the beginning of peak season has the potential to disrupt global supply chains and trade flows for the remainder of the 2019.

Carriers will have yet another option for managing capacity in the fourth quarter when it comes time to take vessels out of service ahead of the shift to low-sulfur fuel.

[AGL Supply Chain @AGLsupplychain]

Blank sailings are becoming the solution to many of the #supplychain industrys biggest problems. Trans-Pacific eastbound spot rates are falling, China imports are declining, and time is running out for a beat-the-tariff import surge. #logistics
