Shanghai kept its title as the busiest port, while transshipment hubs saw their volume decline due to carrier network adjustments spurred by new alliances. 

China and Asia dominates the list. Jebel Ali in UAE continues to grow.

Los Angeles was the only US port to move up the rankings, thanks a 6.3 percent year-over-year growth propelling it one rank up to 17th busiest global port.

The real movement in rankings took place in the middle and at the bottom of the rankings. No. 46 Tanger Med and No. 47 Vancouver rejoined the list with double-digt growth, pushing Nanjing, China, and Balboa, Panama, off the 2017 rankings. 

Amazing new developments of AEO Brazil, one of the leading Trusted Trader Programmes in the world. AEO Brazil is an integrated programme providing a single Government AEO Status – now also including the Health agency.

Since before the Agriculture Agency and the Civil Aviation Agency.

This is the leading example of AEO Coordinated Border Management in the world, also linked to the Single Window.

I am extremely proud of having been involved from the start in the design, development and implementation of AEO Brazil.

In the air tonight. Another day & night on planes travelling our world.

On to new challenges, a new week – new opportunities.
