Northern Europe is a cornucopia of seaports that are undergoing numerous dramatic transitions. Like ports in the United States, Northern Europe’s largest ports are investing heavily in expansions to accommodate the larger container ships that will soon voyage the seas.
Texas airports hot with growth
There’s good news in the air cargo world. Just three weeks into British Airways Boeing 787 launched service on March 3 between Austin–Bergstrom International Airport (ABIA) and London Heathrow (LHR), IAG Cargo realized an 88 percent load factor. On May 1, the carrier increased the service from five flights weekly to daily. This will provide even more opportunity for cargo movement, say IAG Cargo and British Airways officials.

Given keen competition between steamship lines to capture a share of the cold chain business, ocean carriers are looking at ways to implement innovative refrigerated (reefer) technologies and practices.

Adding to the resulting port congestion are strikes.
