Flexport’s Post

In Ethiopia, 21% of refugees have disabilities. Canes, crutches, and other mobility devices can transform lives—yet access is a challenge in its own right. One hidden hurdle? Logistics. In collaboration with Project C.U.R.E., the world’s largest distributor of donated medical goods, and USA for UNHCR, Flexport.org shipped more than 11,000 pounds of accessibility equipment to Ethiopia. “As an impact-focused logistics technology company, Flexport.org has the connections, supply chain expertise, and technology to help solve these problems in a truly unique way,” says Dave Hartman, Senior Program Manager of Global Aid at Flexport.org.

What’s driving today’s ocean shipping rates, and what’s in store for the 2024 peak season? According to Nathan Strang, Flexport’s Director of Ocean Freight, the answer isn’t so simple. “In an Econ 101 [approach to] ocean freight, the supply-demand curve doesn't quite work,” he shares. “It’s the inelastic nature of the market.” Alongside Logistics Management Magazine’s Jeff Berman, Nathan also discussed: • How the Red Sea crisis and rising demand are shaping inventory management • How labor tensions across East and Gulf Coast ports could upend future rates • What tariff hikes mean for pricing and import timelines • Why peak season came early this year, and what carriers and shippers can expect next Read the full interview here: https://flx.to/oceanchat
