Landside logistics: Why the next supply chain bottleneck is no longer at sea

A major wave of congestion and delay is building across landside supply chains—and its effects will not stop at the port gate. The Vincent Thomas Bridge closure in Los Angeles is a critical catalyst, but it is also a warning of a wider global challenge: constrained drayage and rail capacity, infrastructure disruption, longer dwell times, and interconnected gateway congestion are putting delivery reliability at risk across markets. Join us to understand where pressure is emerging, how disruption can cascade through global networks, and what actions you can take now to protect inventory, operations, and customer commitments.

Agenda:

• Why the Vincent Thomas Bridge closure has implications for connected gateways and inland networks worldwide
• How congestion drives longer dwell, tighter drayage and rail capacity, missed connections, inventory delays, and higher costs
• Early warning indicators across ports, rail ramps, terminals, and inland delivery networks
• Practical steps to prioritize cargo, plan alternate routes, secure capacity earlier, and protect customer commitments

Featured speakers:

• Sara Vollmer, SVP Global Sea Logistics Customer Engagement at Kuehne+Nagel

• Brian Kobza, CCO at IMC Logistics

Decisions made before congestion peaks will determine how well your supply chain absorbs disruption. This session will help you identify exposure early, protect critical cargo, preserve flexibility, and reduce delay costs.

In 45 minutes, our speakers will connect the Los Angeles disruption to the global congestion outlook, explain the operational impact, and answer questions live.
