Maersk has restarted its WAF6 West Africa–Mediterranean service through the Red Sea after months of Cape-of-Good-Hope diversions. Shorter transit to the Atlantic means containers hit Montreal sooner, tighter drayage coordination, and accelerated dock-to-stock cycles. Stability cuts detention costs.
IATA's new direct air waybill rules shift significant liability from carriers to freight forwarders, forcing them to compress inbound windows and tighten customs commitments.
