FEATURE ARTICLE
 
Thank you once again to Neil Chambers, Director, Container Transport Alliance Australia (CTAA) for his article "Empty Container Management Challenges" as a part of our Autumn 2019 edition of Across Borders. 



"ECP gate capacity constraints, the mismatch of operating hours, and other scheduling factors, mean that container transport operators are having to stage more and more empty containers through their transport yards, incurring signifcant additional handling and administrative costs."

Full article available HERE

Global Finance Report

 
 
Weekly Market Commentary
US markets finished the week strongly, boosted by an extraordinary US GDP number, beating all expectations. The annualised number came in at 3.2%, against an expected 2.3%, blowing predictions out of the water.

The US Dollar remained firm, supported by the economy, despite a dovish monetary policy. The EUR traded 1.1150, while the Yen held 111.50. The GBP regained 1.2900, despite the continued chaos surrounding 'Brexit'. ... read more
