How Will the 2025 Shipping Alliances - Change the game for Vietnamese Shippers?

In 2025, the container shipping industry is entering a major “reshuffle”.

Demand Planning with AI in 2026 - Trust the “Machine” or Operational Discipline

Demand Planning with AI in 2026 - Trust the “Machine” or Operational Discipline

AI demand forecasting has moved from pilots to wide deployment. Why do some firms see outsized gains while others get lovely forecasts but persistent stock-outs or overstocks? Because the core is not the model alone; it’s operational discipline - clean inputs, short adjustment loops, and embedding forecasts into inventory, purchasing, and transport decisions.

Omnichannel 2026 - Build Micro-Fulfillment or Expand Regional DCs?

Omnichannel 2026 - Build Micro-Fulfillment or Expand Regional DCs?

After the e-commerce surge, retail is entering a cycle of cost-optimized fast delivery. Faced with “same-day” and “easy returns,” companies must choose: deploy urban micro-fulfillment centers (MFCs), or expand regional distribution centers (DCs) and upgrade inventory-allocation algorithms? The answer lies in order structure, customer density, and data discipline.

Asian Cross-Border Corridors - Which Paths Cut Lead Time Without “Inflating” Cost?

Asian Cross-Border Corridors - Which Paths Cut Lead Time Without “Inflating” Cost?

New infrastructure from China-Laos-Thailand rail and Vietnam-China expressways to India–Bangladesh corridors is redrawing Asia’s logistics map. But shorter lead time doesn’t automatically mean better cost if you overlook “soft bottlenecks” like procedures, quarantine, yard capacity, and gateway quality. The practical question: which corridors to pick, how to mix modes, and how to design contracts and data?

Logistics Symbiosis – Ecosystem Thinking

Logistics Symbiosis – Ecosystem Thinking

There are moments in a nation’s development journey when it must pause and ask itself: Are our economic flows truly moving smoothly, or merely struggling through invisible bottlenecks? Viet Nam is passing through precisely such a moment - one in which reality compels us to look deeper into the operating structure of our own system.

Is Asian Air Cargo “Pivoting” to Premium E-commerce?

Is Asian Air Cargo “Pivoting” to Premium E-commerce?

After a post-pandemic recovery, Asia–Southeast Asia air cargo heads into 2026 with a new demand mix: cross-border e-commerce requires speed and granular traceability, while belly capacity is returning and directly competing with freighter fleets. Shippers must ask anew: where to “buy speed,” and how to lock cost and carbon to protect margins?

Marine Fuels - Will LNG “Take the Lead” Before Methanol?

Marine Fuels - Will LNG “Take the Lead” Before Methanol?

Orders for green-methanol ships are booming, yet LNG infrastructure is one step ahead. Recent forecasts suggest demand for LNG as a marine fuel could at least double by 2030 thanks to wider infrastructure and supply, while methanol/green methanol is accelerating on newbuild orders and trunk-route bunkering. How should shippers read this transition map to make decisions on contracts and carbon surcharges?

The U.S. - Mexico Border “Speeds Up”: Where Should You Lock Capacity for Your 2026 Supply Chain?

Laredo has become America’s busiest trade gateway as carriers and retailers shift orders to the Mexico - U.S. corridor to ride nearshoring. Infrastructure is accelerating - from CPKC cross-border rail to new freight corridors. But where should you “bet” to cut lead time and curb congestion risk?

APAC Cold Chain Accelerates: Where Should You “Lock” Capacity to Break Through?

Booming fresh food, seafood, biopharma, and fresh e-commerce are driving demand for temperature-controlled storage and transport across Asia-Pacific. But deciding where to “place your bet” - which temperatures, routes, and hubs requires a product-corridor lens, not just bulk freezer square meters.

Warehouse Automation 2025–2027: Accelerate with AMRs and “AI-ed” WMS, or Keep Tinkering?

The push for speed, demand volatility, and labor constraints force logistics centers to choose: scale automation with AMRs and AI-enabled WMS or keep patching with incremental upgrades. The core question isn’t “what to buy,” but “how to turn CAPEX into throughput and inventory turns within 12–24 months.”

Unstable Schedules: How Do You Defend Against the “Blunt Force” of Blank Sailings?

Unstable Schedules: How Do You Defend Against the “Blunt Force” of Blank Sailings?

Global schedule reliability remains erratic, and blank sailings have become carriers’ week-to-week capacity lever. If you optimize for “lowest price” alone, hidden costs - from delays, inventory, storage, and missed retail windows - can snowball. You need full armor, from operations to contracts.

Have Container Rates Hit a “New Bottom”? Should We Re-negotiate 2026 Contracts Now?

Have Container Rates Hit a “New Bottom”? Should We Re-negotiate 2026 Contracts Now?

Spot rates are moving sideways at low levels while schedule reliability has yet to recover in a durable way. In that context, is “betting” on long, fixed contracts truly safe? Or is now the right time to pivot to a more flexible model that locks core costs while keeping room to adjust with the market?

Geopolitical Disruptions and New Routes: How Is Asia - Europe Air Cargo Pivoting?

Since late 2023, the conflict in Gaza and a string of Houthi attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea have upended one of the world’s key arteries of trade. More than 40% of Asia–Europe volumes that once moved through the Red Sea–Suez Canal have been forced to reroute around the Cape of Good Hope, adding 10–15 days to transit times and pushing transport and insurance costs to unprecedented levels.
