Digital Detox on Kilimanjaro, Then Back to Shipping’s Reality
Update: 2025-08-26
Description
What’s harder than catching Lars Jensen on stable Wi-Fi? Predicting what’s next in global supply chains.
Fresh off summiting Mount Kilimanjaro, Lars’ next stop was Comoros — and let’s just say the Wi-Fi didn’t make the climb. But a spotty signal can’t stop Supply Chain Secrets. This week’s update is packed with hard-hitting market realities for shippers, forwarders, and carriers alike:
- Trans-Pacific spot rates slipping into unsustainable territory
- Tariff risks that could shake demand just before the holidays
- Service cancellations tied to USTR fees and alliance shifts
- Air freight providers pulling back on small parcels under new rules
- A fiery disruption at Hamburg adding to Europe’s bottlenecks
From mountain peace to market pressure, this episode captures the contrast between digital detox and supply chain chaos.
