 Global Logistics Round-up: Air, Sea, Road and Rail News


DHL Supply Chain acquires Australian freight giant; Labour strikes hit German ports & UK rail networks; US East Coast eases West Coast container congestion


A global initiative designed to shape sustainable logistics policies has published a report that urges the logistics industry to adopt an open freight data exchange to improve operational efficiencies across the supply chain.
 
The Coalition for Reimagined Mobility (ReMo) was founded to promote freight sector data sharing in a bid to make global supply chains more sustainable and, more generally, to shape policy to improve the movement of people and goods around the world.
 
ReMo’s report includes modelling from the International Transport Forum (ITF) that suggests the move to an open-freight standard would not only cut the level of goods stuck at global ports but also reduce carbon emissions by 22% by 2050 and eliminate 2.5 billion barrels of oil per year.
