AGS World Transport - celebrating 40 years of operation in the Australian market (1985-2025)

AGS would like to extend our sincere gratitude to our valued customers, vendors and our partners in the WorldWide Alliance that allow us to provide extensive direct services to and from global locations to Australia and New Zealand on a weekly basis.

To our staff that continue to provide the service our customers are accustomed to, we also thank you for making a difference.

This month, global shipping continues to feel the effects of shifting market conditions, from rate movements and blank sailings to ongoing adjustments in key trade lanes. Capacity, equipment, and reliability trends remain in focus as carriers respond to fluctuating demand and operational pressures.

Red Sea developments also continue to influence routing decisions and transit times, with carriers balancing safety, cost considerations, and evolving security assessments. Service planning across Asia–Europe and wider East–West networks remains fluid as conditions change.

Closer to home, Australian trade is seeing tightening conditions, service updates, and shifting freight patterns that are influencing schedules and forward planning for importers and exporters alike.

On the global stage, changes in trade flows, port operations, and geopolitical risks continue to add layers of complexity to an already dynamic environment, shaping sentiment as the sector moves toward year-end.

Don't miss our exclusive webinar on the 4th December where we'll explore the key trends influencing Q4 and look ahead at what lies in store for early 2026.
