The recent rise in Asia-US container rates—triggered by carriers reinstating capacity during a tariff pause—adds pressure to global supply chains already adapting to shifting trade dynamics. However, for Transportplus Logistics Inc., this isn’t simply a pricing challenge. It’s a moment to reaffirm our role as a logistics partner that builds client success through confidence.
Rate changes are external. How businesses respond is strategic.
Many companies respond to container rate increases by negotiating prices or shifting providers. While that may offer short-term savings, it often results in fragmented supply chains. At Transportplus, our approach centers on long-term control, not just short-term cost.
We help clients understand not only the pricing trends but also the upstream indicators—vessel scheduling, port congestion forecasts, and equipment availability. Our clients receive more than logistics; they gain control over their freight plans.
During rate surges, access to data becomes critical. Without real-time tracking or insight into vessel routing, businesses face delays without recourse. That’s why our systems provide proactive alerts, delivery forecasts, and continuous updates.
Clients rely on our transparency to manage downstream operations—from manufacturing timelines to warehouse capacity. Our support extends across the value chain because visibility builds confidence, and confidence builds performance.
Shipping rates may fluctuate, but our values remain steady. For every client, our first question is always the same: “What will help your business succeed?”
Whether it’s adjusting shipment frequency, moving partial container loads, or coordinating with last-mile providers, we don’t just ship—we support. We also help clients adapt to US-side changes, ensuring goods clear customs efficiently and meet delivery deadlines without unnecessary storage fees or rerouting delays.
Transportplus Logistics Inc. operates out of Luzon but serves the broader Southeast Asian region. Our role during this rate fluctuation is to ensure businesses stay linked to the US market with minimal disruption. We maintain strategic relationships with global carriers, ensuring our clients get priority space even when capacity is tight.
This access gives small to mid-sized businesses the confidence to compete globally, supported by local expertise and scalable solutions.
Container rate surges come and go—but your supply chain shouldn’t suffer every time. At Transportplus Logistics Inc., we help you build resilience, maintain control, and plan with confidence. Partner with us to empower your business through smarter, client-driven logistics.
