The surge in voyage cancellations
is not a disruption—it’s a strategic
recalibration by carriers attempting
to restore equilibrium. While the
market remains tight, we continue

cargo movements. Carriers are facing
overcapacity on some trade lanes
while simultaneously confronting
shortages on others. To stay agile,
shipping lines are revising their
alliance strategies, deploying flexible
tonnage, and investing in digital tools
to forecast demand accurately.

Srivastava underscores this pivot. “In this environment, static planning is no longer viable,” he states. The
challenges of aligning shipping operations with rapidly
shifting macroeconomic indicators and unpredictable on-ground conditions require logistics players to

macroeconomic signals and on-ground realities. Whether
