🚚 On May 26, 2026, Walmart launched a new prepaid transportation program to help suppliers combine LTL freight into fuller truckloads before goods enter Walmart’s distribution network.

🚛 The reason is simple: Walmart’s private fleet mainly moves goods from distribution centers to stores. Most inbound freight from suppliers still depends on third-party carriers. When suppliers cannot fill a full trailer, they often rely on LTL, which means more handling, longer lead times, and higher cost.

🏭 Suppliers Can Ship to Consolidation Warehouses

📦 Under the new program, suppliers can send freight to automated consolidation warehouses. Walmart then combines the inventory and distributes it to its 42 regional distribution centers.

📋 Instead of creating multiple purchase orders, pallets, and shipments for different Walmart distribution centers, suppliers can move cases under one national purchase order and one pallet.

✅ The Main Supplier Benefits

💰 For suppliers, the benefit is lower operating friction.

⚙️ The program can reduce pallet costs, labor costs, repeated picking, loading, and order-splitting. Walmart also says automation will help place products where customer demand is strongest.

🛒 That matters because out-of-stocks hurt sales, while excess inventory in the wrong location creates storage pressure.

📊 Rollout, 3PL Options, and Pricing

🔍 The program will roll out in phases. Participation depends on supplier volume and Walmart’s consolidation capacity.

🤝 Suppliers can ship directly through Walmart or use approved 3PLs, including C.H. Robinson, Hub Group, and RJW Logistics.

💵 Pricing is charged per case and covers handling at the consolidation center plus outbound transportation to Walmart’s regional distribution centers.

📉 The Bigger Meaning

🚚 This is not just a freight-cost program.

🧠 Walmart is taking more control over inbound freight, inventory placement, and replenishment timing. For suppliers, the upside is lower complexity. The tradeoff is greater dependence on Walmart’s logistics decisions.

🤝 After the Trump-Xi meeting in Beijing, the U.S. and China reached a preliminary consensus on agriculture, tariffs, rare earths, aviation, and market access.

🏛️ The two sides plan to create the U.S.-China Board of Trade and the U.S.-China Board of Investment to manage selected goods trade, tariff talks, agricultural access, non-tariff barriers, critical minerals, and aviation purchases.

🌾 1. Agriculture Is a Core Issue
U.S. agricultural exports to China fell 65.7% in 2025 to $8.4 billion, making agriculture a key part of the talks.

📋 Both sides agreed to work on market access issues, including quarantine rules, facility registration, import permits, and technical standards.

🥛 The U.S. will also address China’s concerns over Chinese dairy products, aquatic products, and bonsai exports with growing media.

🚜 2. China Will Buy at Least $17 Billion in U.S. Farm Goods Each Year
The White House said China agreed to buy at least $17 billion in U.S. agricultural products annually during the rest of 2026, 2027, and 2028.

🫘 This does not include China’s October 2025 soybean purchase commitment.

🥩 3. U.S. Beef and Poultry Will Get More Access to China
China will work with U.S. regulators to lift suspensions on U.S. beef facilities.

📄 China also renewed more than 400 expired U.S. beef facility listings and added new listings.

🍗 China also agreed to resume U.S. poultry imports if the USDA determines the products are free from highly pathogenic avian influenza risk.

⛏️ 4. Rare Earths Are Part of the Deal
China will address U.S. concerns over rare earth and critical mineral shortages, including yttrium, scandium, neodymium, and indium.

🧩 The talks will also cover restrictions on rare earth production, processing equipment, and related technologies.

✈️ 5. China Approved 200 Boeing Aircraft Purchases
China approved the purchase of 200 U.S.-made Boeing aircraft for Chinese airlines.

🛠️ The U.S. also agreed to supply aircraft engines and related parts to China.

🛢️ 6. The White House Mentioned the Strait of Hormuz
The White House said both countries called for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a major global oil route disrupted since the Iran war began in February.

📌 China’s Ministry of Commerce statement did not mention this point.

⚖️ 7. Tariffs Are Still Unresolved
China’s Ministry of Commerce said both sides aim to finalize the preliminary agreements “at an early date.”

💰 The bigger issue is tariffs.

📅 The U.S. paused reciprocal tariffs for one year in October 2025. That pause is set to expire on November 10, 2026.

📄 Some Section 301 tariff exclusions are also set to last until the same date.

🔎 But in May 2026, the USTR began reviewing the Section 301 tariffs on Chinese imports imposed during Trump’s first term.

⚠️ Bottom line: the meeting produced progress, but U.S.-China trade costs are still uncertain. November 10, 2026 is the key date to watch.

📉 In the second quarter of 2026, Houston’s industrial rents fell slightly, down 0.1% year over year. This was the first time since late 2010 that Houston’s industrial rent growth turned negative.

🏭 The pressure is most obvious in large warehouse and logistics space.

📈 In recent years, Houston’s industrial rents rose sharply because of population growth, strong leasing activity and limited available space. Now, the market is shifting, and tenants have more negotiating power.

❓ Why Are Houston Industrial Rents Falling?
The main reason is a mismatch between supply and demand.

🏗️ Over the past five quarters, new industrial completions have exceeded market absorption. Vacancy has risen to 7.1%, about 100 basis points above the 10-year average.

🚧 Houston still has many projects under construction. As more new supply enters the market, vacancy is expected to rise further by early 2027, increasing competition among landlords.

🏢 Newer Buildings Are Still Stronger
Houston’s industrial market is now split by building age and size.

✅ Demand remains strong for modern, large-format facilities because they better support logistics, manufacturing and supply-chain efficiency.

🔄 Many tenants now prefer to consolidate space or move into newer, more efficient properties instead of renewing older buildings. As a result, older industrial properties face more vacancy risk and downward rent pressure.

🤝 Tenants Have More Leverage
More available space gives tenants stronger bargaining power.

📦 Lease concessions are expanding, especially for spaces over 100,000 square feet. Tenants signing five-year leases can now often secure four to six months of free rent, compared with about three months a few years ago.

🛠️ Tenant improvement packages are also becoming larger, meaning landlords are offering more support for space build-out, upgrades or customization.

⏳ Companies are also taking longer to make leasing decisions. Trade uncertainty, import volatility and slower consumption growth are making tenants more cautious. As landlords offer more concessions, effective rent growth slows.

🔁 Houston Is in a Transitional Phase
Houston’s industrial rent growth has turned slightly negative, but leasing volume remains well above pre-pandemic levels.

📍 Long-term fundamentals remain supported by population growth and Houston’s role as a global distribution hub.

⚠️ For now, the market is dealing with oversupply and stronger landlord competition. Houston industrial rent growth is expected to stay negative until the second half of 2027.

🏭 U.S. manufacturers are facing a simple problem: aluminum is getting more expensive, and stable supply is harder to secure.

📈 The pressure comes from three main factors: higher U.S. metal tariffs, disrupted aluminum production in the Middle East, and low global inventories.

❓ Why Aluminum Supply Matters

📊 The U.S. does not produce enough primary aluminum to meet its own demand. In 2025, U.S. primary aluminum production was about 660,000 tons, while apparent consumption reached about 5.7 million tons. Net import reliance was around 60%.

🌐 That means many U.S. industries still depend on imported or recycled aluminum.

🏗️ Aluminum is widely used in autos, packaging, construction, electrical equipment, machinery and consumer goods. When aluminum becomes more expensive or harder to source, the impact can quickly move into manufacturing costs.

❓ What Is Driving the Pressure?

🏛️ First, higher U.S. tariffs are raising import costs. In 2026, new Section 232 tariff adjustments affected aluminum, steel, copper and related products. For many importers, costs are now harder to predict because some tariffs apply to the full import value, not only the metal content.

🔥 Second, the Iran conflict has disrupted Middle East aluminum production. Emirates Global Aluminium’s Al Taweelah site in Abu Dhabi was damaged by Iranian missile and drone attacks. Qatar’s Qatalum smelter also began shutting down operations. These are not just shipping delays. Some aluminum supply may not be produced on time.

🌊 Third, the Strait of Hormuz matters. It is not only an oil and gas chokepoint. Aluminum smelters in the Gulf region also rely on it for metal exports and raw material imports, including alumina and bauxite.

❓ Why Inventories Cannot Fully Help

📦 Normally, inventories can absorb short-term supply shocks. But aluminum inventories are already tight.

📉 A large share of LME aluminum inventory has been marked for withdrawal, and much of the remaining available stock is Russian-origin metal. Because of sanctions and compliance restrictions, many Western buyers cannot freely use that supply.

⚠️ This means the market is moving from a price issue to an availability issue.

❓ Who Will Feel the Impact?

🚗 The most exposed industries are autos, packaging, construction, power grid equipment, aerospace, electronics and machinery.

🛒 For consumers, the impact may appear later through higher vehicle prices, repair parts, beverage packaging, building materials or equipment delays.

📑 For businesses, the more immediate problem is shorter quote validity. Suppliers may reduce 30-day, 60-day or 90-day pricing windows, or add raw material adjustment clauses.

❓ What Businesses Should Do

🔍 Companies should review where their aluminum comes from, especially whether it is tied to the Middle East, Russia, or tariff-sensitive import categories.

📦 They should also recalculate landed costs, shorten quote periods, prepare safety stock for critical materials, and evaluate substitute materials where possible.

🏭 The key point is clear: aluminum is no longer just a commodity price story. It is becoming a real cost and supply chain risk for U.S. manufacturing.

🚛 Last week, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, or FMCSA, issued a notice about a new registration system called Motus.

📌 Motus will replace the current Unified Registration System (URS) and FMCSA Portal. This matters to U.S. trucking companies, freight forwarders, property brokers and other businesses registered with FMCSA.

❓ What Is Motus?

🧾 Motus is FMCSA’s new registration and account management system for the transportation industry.

🏢 It will be used by:

🚚 Motor carriers, including trucking companies;

📦 Freight forwarders;

🤝 Property brokers, including freight brokers;

🏢 And other companies that need to register with FMCSA or manage company information.

🔗 Through Motus, companies will be able to register with FMCSA, update business information, manage accounts, review crash and inspection records, and access other FMCSA systems.

📖 The name Motus comes from Latin and is related to “motion,” meaning movement.

🚦 Motus Phase II Is Coming

📍 Motus is already being used on a limited basis.

🗓️ Its first phase began last December, when FMCSA opened the system to supporting companies. These are companies authorized to file process agents for motor carriers, freight forwarders and property brokers.

⚖️ A process agent is a legal document service agent required for transportation companies operating in the U.S.

🛠️ FMCSA opened the system to these supporting companies first so they could prepare to assist more businesses once Phase II begins.

⏳ FMCSA has not announced the exact launch date for Motus Phase II, but it is expected before the end of the second quarter. Scopelitis, a trucking-focused law firm, told clients that Phase II could begin as early as May 15, 2026.

🔐 Why Motus Matters: Fraud Prevention

🛡️ Motus is not just a system replacement. It is also part of FMCSA’s effort to reduce fraud in the transportation and supply chain sector.

🔎 Motus will strengthen two checks:

👤 Individual identity verification — confirming the applicant is a real person.

🏢 Business verification — confirming the company is a real business, not a shell entity created with fake information.

🧪 Motus will also connect with other FMCSA systems, including the Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse.

✅ What Companies Should Do Now

⚖️ Scopelitis recommends that companies already registered with FMCSA take these steps:

🔑 Log in to the current FMCSA Portal.

🟢 Confirm the account is still active.

📮 Check whether the company’s PIN still works.

⏱️ Request a new PIN if needed, because it may arrive only by regular mail.

👔 Confirm that the listed portal company official is correct.

🧾 Review the contact name, email address and company information.

📌 This matters because the current portal company official may need to become the Motus registrant.

🔐 How Motus Will Verify Users

🛡️ Motus will use IDEMIA for identity verification.

🏛️ IDEMIA is already used in other parts of the U.S. federal government. In Motus, it will help capture and verify identity documents, confirm applicant legitimacy, improve FMCSA system security and protect sensitive URS data.

📊 According to FMCSA’s latest information, Motus will verify all new applicants. It will also verify about 800,000 existing registrants when they first access the new system.

🔢 Will MC Numbers Be Removed?

🚛 FMCSA is still studying whether to stop assigning MC numbers, or Motor Carrier numbers.

🆔 If the policy changes, FMCSA may use only the DOT number as the sole identifier for registered companies.

🕒 For now, this is still under consideration and will not be part of the initial Motus rollout.

📌 Bottom Line

🏢 Motus means FMCSA registration will become more centralized, stricter and more security-focused.

✅ Trucking companies should check their FMCSA Portal account, PIN, official contact, email and company information before Phase II launches.

🔐 For the broader supply chain industry, Motus may make fraud harder by reducing fake identities, fake addresses and bulk DOT number abuse.

🛢️ The Strait of Hormuz carries about one-quarter of global seaborne oil trade. It connects the Persian Gulf, the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea, making it a key route for Middle Eastern energy exports. Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain all rely heavily on this passage.
⛽ The risk also extends to LNG. Qatar and the UAE depend on Hormuz for LNG exports, and together they account for nearly 20% of global LNG exports. If traffic through the Strait is disrupted, oil, gas, shipping, airfreight, trucking and warehousing costs can all be affected.
📈 Ocean Freight Has Not Fully Spiked Yet
🚢 Base ocean freight rates have not surged across the board. Drewry’s World Container Index fell for the third straight week on April 30, 2026, to $2,216 per 40-foot container. Shanghai to Los Angeles stayed at $2,930, while Shanghai to New York fell 2% to $3,483. Freightos FBX China/East Asia to North America West Coast stood at $2,725, and the FBX Global Container Index was about $1,933.
⚖️ This means weak demand and excess capacity are still holding down main freight rates. The real pressure is showing up in fuel, insurance, war-risk surcharges and delays.
💸 Where Costs Are Rising
📦 Major carriers including Maersk, CMA CGM, Hapag-Lloyd and MSC have added Middle East-related emergency, bunker, conflict or war-risk surcharges. Some charges reach around $3,000 per 40-foot container, with higher costs for reefers or special equipment.
✈️ Airfreight and express costs are also rising. FedEx’s U.S. parcel and express fuel surcharge is 26.50%, and its International Express Freight fuel surcharge is $1.38 per kilogram. UPS Taiwan lists a 47.25% fuel surcharge. DHL Express also applies extra fees for elevated-risk destinations, restricted destinations, overweight pieces and non-stackable pallets.
🧭 How the Conflict Raises Logistics Costs
🛢️ The first driver is oil. On May 4, 2026, oil prices briefly eased after President Trump said the U.S. would help ships stranded in the Strait of Hormuz resume passage. But with no U.S.-Iran peace agreement and traffic still restricted, Brent remained above $107 per barrel and WTI above $101.
🛡️ The second driver is risk. When Middle East routes become unstable, carriers and forwarders reassess war risk, rerouting risk and delay risk. Quotes may be valid for shorter periods, some urgent cargo may be rejected, and some shipments may require extra insurance.
🛣️ The third driver is routing. If ocean routes are disrupted, some cargo shifts to airfreight, alternative ports, land bridges or longer sea routes. But air capacity and alternative port capacity are both limited, which can create new bottlenecks.
📦 Which Goods Are Most Exposed
📈 Freightos data shows South Asia-to-Europe non-contract airfreight spot rates rose from $2.57/kg before the conflict to $4.37/kg, up about 70%. South Asia-to-North America rose 58%, and Europe-to-Middle East rose 55%.
🛒 The most exposed goods are urgent products, low-inventory goods, heavy low-margin goods, and energy, chemical or fertilizer-related cargo. For Amazon FBA, TikTok Shop and independent sellers, stockouts can hurt sales, ranking, ad efficiency and fulfillment performance.
🧾 What Businesses Should Do
🧮 Importers should recalculate real landed cost, including fuel, war-risk fees, insurance, delays, port congestion, port changes and warehouse turnover. They should replace one fixed ETA with a normal ETA, risk ETA and latest ETA.
📄 Exporters should clarify delivery responsibility, surcharge adjustments, alternative ports and split shipments before accepting orders.
🚛 For logistics companies, the opportunity is not just higher rates. It is demand for certainty. Forwarders that provide route planning, backup options, insurance advice, port switching and exception handling are moving from booking space to supply-chain risk management.

🏗️U.S. data center developer DataBank has secured a $2 billion construction loan to build the first three buildings at its new Red Oak campus south of Dallas.
🏢The three buildings are DFW9, DFW10 and DFW11. Together, they will provide about 600,000 square feet of data center space and 180MW of power capacity.
💰This is DataBank’s largest single construction financing deal to date.
🏦Who Is Financing the Project?
🏛️The financing is led by MUFG Bank Ltd., the core banking arm of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group.
📑MUFG served as coordinating lead arranger, administrative agent and sole bookrunner. A group of digital infrastructure banks and institutional investors also joined the financing.
⚖️Davis Polk served as DataBank’s legal adviser. Rogers O’Brien Construction and Yates Construction are the general contractors for the Red Oak campus.
👥Why the Tenant Matters
🔑The key point is that the first three buildings have already been leased by a single tenant.
🧾DataBank President and CFO Kevin Ooley described the tenant as an “investment-grade technology firm” that was secured in mid-2025. DataBank has not publicly named the tenant.
📰Business Insider later reported that the Red Oak tenant is Oracle, but this has not been confirmed by DataBank in the original announcement.
📍Red Oak Campus Scale
🏞️DataBank’s Red Oak campus is a major data center development.
📐The campus is located about 21 miles south of Dallas and covers 292 acres. It is planned for eight two-story data center buildings.
⚡The first phase includes four buildings and a 400MW substation. Once fully built, the campus could reach 480MW of total capacity.
🏗️Red Oak is DataBank’s largest campus by both power capacity and land area.
⏩Faster Delivery After Financing
🚧The new financing will speed up construction.
🏁The first data center building is expected to become operational before the end of the year, about 18 months earlier than the previous delivery schedule.
📅DataBank also expects the first building in the initial four-building phase to be delivered in the third quarter of 2026, with the final building in that phase expected by the end of 2027.
🌐DataBank’s Broader Growth
🗺️DataBank already has eight data centers in the Dallas-Fort Worth region.
🏢In total, the company operates 76 data centers across 26 U.S. markets and the United Kingdom.
💲Over the past year, DataBank has secured $4.7 billion in total funding. This includes expanding its credit facility to $1.6 billion and raising $1.1 billion to refinance three existing U.S. data centers.
📊Why This Deal Matters
🖥️This deal shows how fast the data center market is changing.
🔌Large technology tenants are locking in future computing capacity earlier. For developers, land is no longer enough. Power access, tenant credit, financing capacity and delivery speed are now the real competitive factors.
🤖The Red Oak project also reflects rising demand from AI and cloud computing. Large data centers are increasing demand for land, power connections, substations, construction resources and local approvals.
🌱At the same time, DataBank has included the $2 billion loan in its green financing initiative. The project must meet efficiency, water conservation and carbon reduction targets. DataBank aims to be carbon neutral by 2030.
📌Bottom Line
🏗️DataBank’s $2 billion Red Oak financing is not just a real estate deal.
📈It reflects a larger shift in the U.S. data center market: AI demand is pushing developers to secure power, capital, tenants and construction capacity faster than before. In Dallas-Fort Worth, Red Oak is becoming one of the clearest examples of that shift.

🌐 The U.S.-Iran Conflict Is Becoming a Business Cost Problem

The U.S.-Iran conflict matters because it can push energy prices higher. Once oil prices rise, the pressure does not stay in the energy market.

Higher oil prices quickly affect trucking, ocean freight, air freight, warehousing, delivery, packaging, and production. That means companies may face higher costs before they can raise prices.

For importers, logistics companies, manufacturers, e-commerce sellers, and retailers, this becomes a cash flow problem. Freight gets more expensive, inventory costs rise, and weaker consumer spending can make it harder to protect margins.

Banks may still look stable now, but credit risk often appears later. When business costs rise and cash flow tightens, some borrowers may struggle to repay loans. That is when banks may begin to face more pressure.

Iran is weaker in the long run because of sanctions, limited financing, export pressure, and currency stress. The U.S. is stronger overall, but it is still sensitive to oil prices, inflation, consumer confidence, and financial markets.

📌 Bottom Line

The U.S.-Iran conflict is not only about who can hold out longer. For businesses, the real question is whether oil, freight, borrowing costs, and cash flow keep getting worse.

📉 Industry data once suggested that cargo theft and freight fraud account for just 0.0036% of all freight. But that figure only reflects incidents that were reported and tracked. It does not reflect everything that is actually happening in the market.

❓ Why Cargo Theft Data Looks So Low
📋 Many companies do not report cargo theft or freight fraud to insurers, law enforcement, or the FMCSA.
📦 Some incidents are also treated internally as normal operational losses instead of being classified as fraud.
⚠️ As a result, the industry’s risk data is incomplete from the start.

💰 What the Real Losses May Look Like
📊 The industry often cites about $6 billion in annual cargo theft losses in the United States. But that number only reflects visible losses, not the full picture.
🧩 Many experts believe reported cases may account for only 10% to 15% of all cargo theft and freight fraud incidents. If that is true, then $6 billion is only a small part of the real total.
📈 The actual loss exposure may be closer to $40 billion to $60 billion a year.
🚚 That number matters because the U.S. trucking economy is worth about $900 billion to $1 trillion annually. If real exposure is truly $40 billion to $60 billion, then the impact reaches roughly 4% to 6% of the total market.

📦 The Cost Goes Far Beyond the Value of the Freight
💸 The loss is not just the cargo itself.
🛠️ After a theft, companies still have to investigate, file claims, replace goods, and arrange redelivery. Inventory gaps can disrupt supply plans, and internal teams must spend time on paperwork, communication, and recovery efforts.
📑 Insurance costs may also rise. Deductibles may increase, and customer trust may be damaged.
📉 When all of these costs are added together, the real financial impact is often much greater than the value of the stolen load.

🔗 Where the Risk Sits in the Supply Chain
🎯 Cargo theft is not random. It usually targets goods that are easy to move and easy to resell.
📱 Electronics, apparel, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and household goods are common targets because demand is high and resale is fast.
📦 The risk is concentrated in the most liquid parts of the supply chain, where freight values are higher and resale markets are stronger. In those categories, the real impact is much higher than overall averages suggest.
⚠️ In the most targeted segments, exposure may even reach 15% to 20%.

🕳️ The Bigger Concern Is Why the System Still Allows It
🔍 The bigger problem is that these incidents keep happening through the same system weaknesses.
🆔 Bad actors can often re-enter the market by using new identities or slightly changing existing information.
✅ That shows the current supply chain verification process still has major gaps.

🏛️ How the Industry Is Responding
👮 States such as California, Texas, Florida, Illinois, and Arizona are already investing in task forces and coordinated enforcement.
📜 At the federal level, lawmakers are advancing the Combatting Organized Retail Crime Act and the Cargo Security Innovation Act.
🛡️ The focus is to fund enforcement, deploy technology, and build systems that can detect and stop supply chain fraud earlier.

🚢 The Georgia Ports Authority will open its new inland port in Gainesville, Georgia, in May, directly connecting to the carrier network of the Port of Savannah.
🏭 The facility will serve around 330 manufacturers, including poultry, heavy equipment, and forest products.

🏗️ $134M Project Expands Inland Network
💰 The Gainesville Inland Port, formerly the Blue Ridge Connector, cost $134 million to build.
📦 It will handle up to 200,000 containers annually and help reduce truck traffic on Georgia’s highways.
🚆 This project adds to an existing inland system that includes the Appalachian Regional Port and the Cordele Inland Port, forming a more complete rail-linked network.

📍 Why Gainesville Matters
🏭 Gainesville sits in the Southeast manufacturing belt and near the Atlanta metro area, covering both production and distribution demand.
📊 The project is part of a $5 billion, 10-year infrastructure plan aimed at reducing highway reliance and bringing logistics closer to manufacturers.

🌍 Connecting Manufacturers to Global Shipping
🚢 The Port of Savannah handles about 40 vessel calls per week.
🚛 By linking to this network, manufacturers can move goods more efficiently without relying solely on trucking. Key industries already tied to Savannah include machinery, apparel, appliances, auto parts, furniture, housewares, tires, and poultry.

🚚 Shifting Freight from Road to Rail
📉 Freight in Gainesville is currently truck-heavy. The inland port introduces rail as a primary alternative.
📣 According to CEO Griff Lynch, the facility is expected to replace about 26,000 truck roundtrips in its first year, helping reduce congestion in Atlanta and improve air quality.
🚄 Rail service between Gainesville and Savannah will be operated by Norfolk Southern.

📉 Opening as Volumes Slow
📊 From July 2025 to February 2026, the Port of Savannah handled 3.73 million TEUs, down 0.2% year over year after record volumes in 2023.
🔄 The inland port is part of a broader shift to extend port access inland and stabilize cargo flows.
