Freight and logistics across key trade lanes
AltaVera Research·August 2026·4 min
Canal status, port congestion and freight indices — and what they mean for delivered cost.
Delivered cost is a function of the material, the origin and the route. Freight indices, canal transit conditions and port congestion can move landed economics more than the FOB price itself.
Buyers working on CFR, CIF or DAP terms benefit from a supplier that coordinates logistics as part of the supply programme, rather than leaving freight as an afterthought.
