Latest From Greg Miller

Port of LA imports sank 19% in May vs April, with no major rebound expected

Tariffs are already having a highly negative effect on business at the Port of Los Angeles. May was extremely weak. The ‘status quo’ for tariffs looks like it will prevail; if so, imports will face headwinds for the rest of the year

Containers United States

Transpacific spot rate index suffers largest-ever weekly decline

The hope among liner stock investors was that lower US tariffs on Chinese goods would unleash a flood of cargo, spurring a Covid era-like surge in transpacific rates. But the upside looks like it will be fleeting this time around

Containers Freight rates

No tariff relief despite US-China ‘deal’ hype — a negative for shipping

The base case appears to be that US tariffs will be maintained by the Trump administration at or near current levels — which, excluding this April, are the highest since the Great Depression. If so, it will pressure US importers’ bottom lines and create ongoing headwinds for container shipping demand

Containers China

Panama Canal transits drop in May despite counterintuitive boxship rise

May was not a great month for the Panama Canal, but it’s too early to call a downward trend. The pullback is likely due to a mix of seasonality, month-on-month volatility and some fallout from the trade war

Containers Tankers and Gas

NRF peak-season forecast remains subdued despite tariff-reprieve bounce

The import numbers are starting to come in for May, and they’re ugly. The question now is whether the 2025 peak season can recover from tariffs. The latest forecast from the National Retail Federation is not encouraging

Containers Ports and Logistics

Final US port fee plan won’t be released until July at the earliest

If you’re a ship operator planning global deployments that extend beyond mid-October, you’d like to know what the rules will be for US port fees. Ship operators won’t know those rules for at least another month
