AC-130J Ghostrider Gunship Has Operated From A Highway For The First Time

Operating from highways could make AC-130J gunships more survivable and flexible, but questions remain about their role in high-end fights.

Joseph Trevithick Posted on Aug 5, 2024 1:51 PM EDT

The US Air Force says an AC-130J Ghostrider gunship has operated from a highway for the first time as part of the service's larger push to reduce its dependence on traditional runways. This is also comes amid questions about the future of the gunships in future high-end fights.

USAF capture

An AC-130J Ghostrider gunship has operated from a highway for the first time during a recent exercise, according to the U.S. Air Force. This reflects a push across the U.S. military to be less dependent on traditional runways and established bases that would be high-priority targets for enemy forces during a future major conflict, such as one in the Pacific against China. This also comes as hard questions are being asked about what roles and missions there might be for the AC-130J in a high-end fight after the type has spent the past two decades supporting counter-terrorism and other lower-intensity operations.

The AC-130J in question landed on and then subsequently took off from a stretch of U.S. Highway 63 in Bono, Arkansas, on August 4 as part of the larger Emerald Warrior Field Training Exercise II (FTX II). An MC-130J Commando II special operations tanker-transport, a C-146A Wolfhound special operations light transport aircraft, and a standard C-130H cargo plane also participated in the road operations training. With the exception of the C-130H, all of these aircraft were from units assigned to Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC). The C-130H was from the Arkansas Air National Guard’s 189th Airlift Wing.

“The MC-130J crew then set up a Forward Arming and Refueling Point (FARP), as the AC-130J assigned to the 1st Special Operations Wing at Hurlburt Field, Florida, made its approach, landed, refueled, rearmed, and took off again,” according to an Air Force release. “The primary objective of this exercise was to validate AFSOC’s capability to operate in austere environments with minimal infrastructure.”

“The exercise provided an opportunity for participating units to refine their skills and advance ongoing pathfinding and experimentation efforts within AFSOC,” the release added.

A picture for the road operations portion of Emerald Warrior FTX II showed what appears to be a Common Launch Tube (CLT) being unloaded from a transit canister. What other munitions Air Force personnel may have practiced loading aboard the AC-130J in this austere environment is unclear.

The AC-130J’s current armament package consists of a 30mm automatic cannon and a 105mm howitzer that fire out the left side of the aircraft, as well as the ability to employ a variety of precision-guided bombs and missiles. This includes precision munitions that are launched via CLTs, such as the GBU-44/B Viper Strike glide bomb and AGM-176 Griffin missile.

“This exercise serves as a significant milestone for AFSOC, demonstrating our ability to operate in diverse and austere environments,” Tech. Sgt. Robert Gallagher, assigned to the AFSOC Air Commando Development Center, who acted as the lead planner for the highway landings, said, according to the Air Force release. “By leveraging ACE concepts, we enhance our operational flexibility and resilience.”

ACE here stands for Agile Combat Employment, which refers to a set of concepts of operations centered on expeditionary and distributed deployments that occur at irregular intervals across a broadening number of operating locations. The core function of ACE is to upend enemy targeting cycles, and by extension reduce the vulnerability of friendly forces, by operating in a less predictable fashion. The video at the top of this story from Emerald Warrior FTX II highlights all of this by showing the AC-130J being able to get in and out relatively quickly. The C-130 family’s impressive reverse thrust capability is on display, as well.

Being able to operate from remote and austere environments, such as highways, is a key element of current ACE planning. As such, the Air Force special operations aircraft, like MC-130Js and C-146As, as well as conventional ones, like A-10 Warthog ground attack aircraft and standard C-130 cargo planes, have been conducting road operations training on an increasingly regular basis. MQ-9 Reaper drones have also participated in similar exercises in the past.

Other services have been involved in this new burst of roadway exercises in the past few years. The U.S. Marine Corps has also been very actively training to use roads and other alternatives to large traditional runways as part of the service’s own array of new expeditionary and distributed concepts of operations.

AFSOC, as well as other elements of the U.S. special operations community, already have a long history of operating from impromptu forward locations, often in sensitive or denied areas, but generally on a more ad-hoc mission-to-mission basis.

“We’ve recently been returning to tactics, techniques, and procedures to find out where all of the 3,000-foot straight highways in the world are” as part of a broader push to become “runway agnostic,” Air Force Lt. Gen. Tony Bauernfeind, then head of AFSOC, said last year. Bauernfeind is now superintendent of the United States Air Force Academy.

For AC-130Js operating in their traditional special operations support role, being able to operate from roads and other remote locations on a more general basis could help allow them to fly (as well as refuel and rearm) closer to designated operating areas. This could increase their time on station and shorten how long it might take them to get to and from where they need to be, as well as just generally expand their operational flexibility.

At the same time, as the U.S. military shifts its main focus away from counter-terrorism and other low-intensity missions to preparing for high-end operations, especially in a potential future conflict against China, questions have emerged about AC-130J’s future. Even during the past two decades of support operations in largely permissive airspace over places like Iraq and Afghanistan, AC-130 gunships have operated almost exclusively at night in part to reduce vulnerability to potential threats from the ground. The War Zone just explored these broader issues facing the Ghostrider in the context of a rare appearance by one of the gunships at a sinking exercise (SINKEX) during the larger biennial Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) exercise, which just wrapped last week.

The Air Force is in the midst now of a review of the Ghostrider’s current and future capabilities that could lead to the aircraft losing their iconic, but relatively short-ranged 105mm howitzers. A plan to integrate a laser-directed energy weapon, described originally as having immense potential in lower-intensity warfare contexts, has already been scrapped.

There is growing emphasis now on increasing the AC-130J’s stand-off strike capabilities, including through the addition of small cruise missiles to the Ghostrider’s arsenal. The Air Force is looking into the potential of using other C-130 variants, including MC-130Js, as well as the C-17, as launch platforms for larger cruise missiles and other munitions using a palletized system called Rapid Dragon.

In addition, AFSOC is interested in adding a new active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar to the AC-130Js to help extend the reach of their targeting capabilities, as well as provide added situational awareness. The gunships have already been receiving upgrades to their electronic warfare and communications suites.

The AC-130J, its capabilities, and its roles and missions appear set to evolve significantly in the coming years. Operating more regularly from highways and other roads looks now to be on the horizon for the Ghostriders.

What are the duties of the royal guard?

Here’s the old post going into detail about the royal guard and their divisions. I added a few new branches to the guard since then!

There are five divisions to the royal guard!

The foot (or general) guard! They’re the unspecialized soldiers. Trained in combat and required to keep up a certain level of health to keep tue job. They are the largest part of the royal guard by far and are considered reserve troops for whenever things go south. Since ebott isn’t in active war right now, these monsters work providing public services like cleaning roads, providing security for basic public areas, even some unskilled construction like digging ditches and helping clear fields or unused land. Many monsters join the the foot guard because 10 years of service means that you can have your schooling paid for if you ever pursue higher education.

The peace guard, aka the police force of ebott is a branch of royal guard trained as the police officers. Undyne is head of the ebott city branch, and Star is a search and rescue peace guard. These guards include the average officer, investigators and the disaster relief teams.

The royal navy is the largest active combat ready division. Ebott has a very strong navy guard with the sea and hadal monsters joining it in droves. These monsters patrol and protect ebotts borders, and even accompany ships carrying cargo outside of the country, as well as search cargo coming in for dangerous items and people. Since ebott is surrounded by sea, this section of royal guards are constantly on duty being rotated in and out at all times

The royal air force is the newest division as ebott only has a tiny fleet of war ready ships (that the rest of the world knows about ;)). It’s growing slowly, but only takes the best recruits so it’s hard to get in

The smallest but most prestigious unit of the royal guard are the royal attendants. These guards personally work with the royals and some choice important individuals as security and other duties like secretary positions. You need both brains and brawn to even be considered, and one can’t apply. A royal attendant is always chosen by recommendation only

The royal guard is the backbone of ebott. It’s the largest growing “company” employing the largest number of monsters and humans alike in the country. Without it the country certainly wouldn’t be able to run as well as it does today

"California just cracked down on pollution from transportation in two major moves, part of an effort to improve air quality and cut carbon emissions at the same time. 

On Friday, the California Air Resources Board unanimously approved a rule that would ban the sale of diesel big rigs in the state by 2036. The mandate, which will apply to about 1.8 million trucks — including those operated by Amazon, UPS, and the U.S. Postal Service —  is reportedly the first in the world to require trucks to ditch internal combustion engines. The news came one day after California became the first state to adopt standards to limit pollution from trains. 

Trucks and Diesel

The regulations are intended to improve air quality and trim carbon emissions from transportation, the source of about half the state’s greenhouse gases. Trucks and trains spew diesel exhaust, full of soot that contains more than 40 cancer-causing substances, responsible for an estimated 70 percent of Californian’s cancer risk from air pollution. 

The trucking rule requires school buses and garbage trucks to be emissions-free within four years. By 2042, all trucks will be required to be “zero-emission,” meaning there’s no pollution coming out of their tailpipes. The deadline comes sooner for drayage trucks, which transport cargo from ports and railyards to warehouses — typically short routes that require less battery range. New drayage trucks must be “zero-emission” beginning next year, with the rule applying to all drayage trucks on the road in 2035. 

Currently, medium and heavy-duty vehicles account for a fifth of greenhouse gas emissions statewide. In August, California clamped down on pollution from passenger vehicles with a plan to end the sale of new gas-powered cars in the state by 2035.

People breathing pollution from freeways and warehouse hubs have long called for stricter air standards. In the port cities of Long Beach and Los Angeles, some 6,000 trucks pass through every day, exposing residents to high levels of ozone and particulate matter, pollutants linked with a range of problems including respiratory conditions and cardiovascular disease. Long Beach residents who live the closest to ports and freeways have a life expectancy about 14 years shorter compared to people who live further away...

Trains and Locomotives

According to the new rules, the state is banning locomotive engines that are more than 23 years old by 2030. It also bans trains from idling for more than 30 minutes, provided that they are equipped with an engine that can shut off automatically.

The stage for the rule was set by a single line buried in the Biden administration’s proposed auto emissions rules, in which the Environmental Protection Agency said it was considering allowing states to regulate locomotives. Still, California’s new rules may spark a legal battle with the rail industry, which argues that the state doesn’t have the authority to make such sweeping changes.

Though railroads only account for about 2 percent of the country’s carbon emissions from transportation, switching to trains powered by batteries or hydrogen fuel cells would provide some benefits in the effort to tackle climate change. The public health gains would be even bigger: The California Air Resources Board estimates its new rules for trains, passed on Thursday, would lower cancer risk in neighborhoods near rail yards by more than 90 percent.

“This is an absolutely transformative rule to clean our air and mitigate climate change,” Liane Randolph, the chair of the air quality board, said ahead of the vote on the trucking rules on Friday. “We all know there’s a lot of challenges, but those challenges aren’t going to be tackled unless we move forward … if not now, when?”"

Amazon deliveries could be headed for some turbulence in the new year. Pilots for US-based Air Transport International, a cargo airline that ferries Amazon packages from its fulfillment centers to airports nearer to its customers, voted to authorize a strike last month. During the three and a half years the union has been negotiating with ATI, wages in the industry have soared, and ATI’s pilots complain that their pay has fallen behind. Meanwhile, they say ATI is facing record attrition as pilots jump ship to better-paying carriers.

A strike could throw a wrench in Amazon’s logistics network. ATI, owned by holding company ATSG, operates half of the 80 US aircraft currently in service for Amazon, according to an estimate by Planespotters. But the pilots, who are represented by the Air Line Pilots Association union, can’t walk out until at least next year.

Federal law requires airline labor disputes to be mediated by the US government’s National Mediation Board, which will implement a 30-day cooling-off period if it determines the parties have reached an impasse and they refuse arbitration. If a resolution isn’t reached during that time, the pilots can walk off the job or the airline can lock them out. Some 98 percent of ATI’s 640 pilots participated in the vote and only one didn’t vote to authorize the strike.

Amazon outsources the operation of its air service, which it calls Amazon Air, to a small network of cargo airlines whose pilots fly Amazon-branded planes. In the US alone, they collectively operate more than 330 daily flights for Amazon between more than 50 airports, according to the logistics consultancy MWPVL International.

Most airlines that work with Amazon also devote a large share of their businesses to transporting cargo for other customers, including DHL and the US military. In recent years, ATI has gone all-in on the retailer, however. Amazon deliveries now comprise 94 percent of ATI’s flying hours, according to the pilots’ union, making the company and its workers dependent on the ecommerce giant.

ATI’s pilots’ union says that more than a third of the airline’s pilots have left so far this year, after 27 percent of them departed last year. The union says 42 percent of its pilots are currently on probation, meaning they’re in their first year of service. “We’re watching our carrier disintegrate,” says Mike Sterling, chair of the ATI pilots’ union.

The pilots’ union says they have delivered a 98 percent on-time performance rate, but the rapid turnover and declining experience levels are threatening that. “This market is highly competitive, and ATSG is diminishing its ability to provide quality service to Amazon,” says Sterling. “We think this is a conversation that needs to be had between all three parties.” Amazon and ATI did not respond to requests for comment. During an earnings call in May, ATSG’s former CEO said that ATI’s service quality remained outstanding, but acknowledged that training replacements for departing pilots had raised costs for the airline.

When the pilots’ union negotiated a contract with the company in 2018, pilots’ pay, benefits, and schedules were competitive with similar airlines, says Josh Hoy, a captain who started at the airline seven years ago. He initially looked at the job as just a stepping stone but decided to stick around when ATI’s relationship with Amazon took off. “It was a really exciting time, being on the ground floor of that kind of growth,” he says. “I started to have the conversation with my wife and said, ‘I think this might be the place to stay.’”

However, “as time went on, we’ve fallen far behind,” Hoy says. ATI’s union says its pilots are paid less on an hourly basis than those at all of Amazon’s seven other carriers. “We operate under the same rules, in the same airspace, on the exact same routes. The airplanes cost the exact same to operate,” says Hoy. “Everything is exactly the same, except for our pay.”

No Fondness for Labor

Amazon generally goes to great lengths to avoid engaging with unions and to deter its employees or those who work for its contractors from joining them. The company spent the last year and a half unsuccessfully challenging the first and only union victory at a US Amazon warehouse. When employees of a delivery contractor in Southern California unionized earlier this year, Amazon refused to jointly bargain with the workers and terminated its agreement with the contractor. “Amazon has not demonstrated a real fondness for labor,” Sterling acknowledges. “I would love to change that narrative with them.”

The last and only time Amazon faced a strike by one of its air carriers was in 2016, during the early days of its air cargo operation, when 250 pilots for ABX Air walked off the job. A judge deemed the strike illegal, however, and ordered the pilots back to work the following day. Nonetheless, a former Amazon Air employee told WIRED last year that Amazon suspended its business with ABX for several weeks after the strike ended to demonstrate the relative power it held in the relationship, which soon soured.

ATI’s pilots are taking a less antagonistic tone in hopes of bringing Amazon to the negotiating table. “What we don’t want to do is affect our customers,” says Sterling. “We’ve done a lot to protect our obsession with Amazon.” However, he says the intransigence of ATSG’s management has left the pilots with no choice but to call a strike.

“This side of Amazon’s network is the most vulnerable to labor strikes,” says Marc Wulfraat, president of logistics consultancy MWPVL. If drivers or warehouse workers strike, the company can shift the flow of products and packages to one of its many nearby warehouses, but airports are fewer in number and farther apart.

Amazon could compensate for a walkout at ATI by shifting volume to other air carriers under the Amazon Air umbrella, but only if they have the capacity to handle the influx at all of the airports. It could also transport some of its packages by truck instead, which it did during the brief 2016 strike. However, this could result in slower shipping times and reduced service, says Wulfraat, which flies in the face of Amazon’s mantra of customer obsession.

Pilots also have the advantage of being generally in a strong position across the airline industry. “It’s still a very, very hot job market” for pilots, says Geoff Murray, a partner who works on aerospace at management consultancy Oliver Wyman. Plummeting demand for passenger pilots during the pandemic sent many into early retirement, worsening an existing pilot shortage that got more acute as the industry bounced back. Wages have soared. Oliver Wyman estimates that captains’ pay at the US mainline carriers, such as Delta and UPS, has increased 46 percent since 2020, while regional carriers have increased pay by 86 percent.

Pilot Drew Patterson came to ATI in 2021, attracted by the work-life balance the airline offered, but as the carrier lost pilots, he has seen his workload creep up and his schedule become more unpredictable. With fewer crews to operate the same number of flights, “everybody else's schedule gets compressed,” he says. “Sometimes you can be away from home for a long time.”

Long-term, he thinks Amazon’s continued growth should be a good thing for ATI and its employees, so he’s been willing to stick it out. But he’s not so sure all of his colleagues will feel the same about current conditions at the company.

“All of this has a real house-of-cards feeling to it,” says Sterling. “We just can’t sustain what we’re doing.”

What Services Do Freight Forwarding Companies in Afghanistan Provide?

Freight forwarding companies play a crucial role in global trade, ensuring that goods move seamlessly across borders and reach their destinations efficiently. In Afghanistan, these companies provide essential services tailored to the unique logistical and geographical challenges of the region. Here's an overview of the services offered by Freight Forwarding Companies in Afghanistan and their importance in supporting businesses and the economy.

1. Transportation and Logistics Coordination

Freight forwarding companies specialize in organizing and managing the transportation of goods. They coordinate with multiple carriers, including trucks, trains, and air freight, to ensure that cargo moves efficiently through domestic and international routes. Given Afghanistan's landlocked position, these companies often arrange cross-border transportation to and from neighboring countries like Pakistan, Iran, and Central Asia.

2. Customs Clearance and Documentation

Navigating customs regulations can be a daunting task, especially in a country with complex trade policies. Freight forwarding companies in Afghanistan provide expert customs clearance services, ensuring that all necessary documentation is prepared and submitted correctly. This includes handling permits, export and import licenses, and compliance with local regulations, reducing the risk of delays or fines.

3. Warehousing and Storage

Freight forwarding companies often offer warehousing solutions to store goods securely before shipment or after arrival. These warehouses are equipped to handle various types of cargo, including perishable goods, heavy machinery, and raw materials. Temperature-controlled storage and inventory management services are also available to meet diverse business needs.

4. Cargo Insurance

Protecting goods in transit is essential, especially in regions where infrastructure and security challenges can increase the risk of damage or loss. Freight forwarding companies in Afghanistan provide cargo insurance options to safeguard shipments. This ensures peace of mind for businesses, knowing that their goods are financially protected in case of unforeseen events.

5. Project Cargo Handling

Afghanistan's economy often relies on large-scale development projects, such as infrastructure building and energy development. Freight forwarders offer specialized project cargo handling services to transport oversized or heavy items like construction machinery, turbines, and industrial equipment. These services require meticulous planning and execution to manage the complexities of moving such cargo.

6. Multimodal Transportation

Given Afghanistan's challenging terrain and limited direct access to seaports, multimodal transportation is a common solution. Freight forwarders integrate various modes of transport—such as road, rail, and air—to optimize cost and efficiency. This approach ensures seamless connectivity to international markets.

7. Supply Chain Management

Freight forwarding companies act as strategic partners for businesses, offering end-to-end supply chain management services. They monitor and manage the entire logistics process, from procurement to final delivery, ensuring that businesses can focus on their core operations without worrying about logistical complexities.

8. Air Freight Services

With Afghanistan's mountainous terrain making overland routes difficult, air freight becomes a critical option for transporting high-value or time-sensitive goods. Freight forwarders offer air cargo solutions, leveraging major airports like Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul to connect businesses to global markets quickly.

9. Cross-Border Trade Facilitation

Afghanistan's location makes it a key transit point for goods moving between South Asia, Central Asia, and the Middle East. Freight forwarding companies facilitate cross-border trade by managing transit procedures, ensuring compliance with international trade agreements, and reducing potential bottlenecks at border checkpoints.

10. Specialized Services

Some freight forwarders in Afghanistan cater to niche markets, such as hazardous materials transportation, humanitarian aid logistics, and cold-chain solutions for pharmaceuticals and food products. These specialized services address the unique demands of specific industries and projects.

Conclusion

Freight Forwarding Companies in Afghanistan provide a wide range of services that are essential for businesses operating in the region. From transportation and customs clearance to supply chain management and specialized logistics, these companies ensure that goods move smoothly and efficiently. By addressing the challenges of Afghanistan’s geography and infrastructure, they play a vital role in facilitating trade and contributing to the country's economic development. Whether you’re a local business or an international enterprise, partnering with a reliable freight forwarder is key to navigating the complexities of global trade.

IMAGES: KC-10 Extender flies its last combat mission as retirement approaches

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 10/07/2023 - 21:02in History, Military

The KC-10 Extender air refueling jet recorded its last combat mission, closing a penultimate chapter in the aircraft's four decades of service as it prepares for retirement.

The last KC-10 deployed left Prince Sultan Air Base, a U.S.-run outpost in Saudi Arabia, on October 5, after supporting combat operations in the U.S. Central Command, the Air Force said in a statement on Friday (06/10). The service did not provide details about the final missions of the tanker aircraft.

“The KC-10 has been the anchor of air refueling in the [region] since the Desert Storm,” said the head of the 908º Air Refueling Expeditionary Squadron, Maj. Joseph Rush, in the statement. “Thousands of aviators were deployed to support KC-10 combat operations. ... Being here at the height of this legacy is a privilege."

The 908º EARS has flown with the KC-10 in U.S.-led military campaigns against terrorist groups in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria from Prince Sultan Air Base and Al Dhafra Air Base in the United Arab Emirates since 2002.

Thursday's mission was the last trip of the KC-10 in combat operations around the world.

Since it entered service in 1981, the KC-10 has moved thousands of tons of cargo, transported thousands of soldiers and supplied many millions of gallons of fuel to other aircraft in conflicts around the world. Jets act as aerial gas stations where military aircraft can refuel without the need to divert to physical bases for service.

“For a fighter, air refueling can take two hours of flight without refueling and turn it into an eight-hour combat mission,” Rush said in the statement. "This translates into uninterrupted coverage of approximate air support for coalition troops on the ground or counter-aircraft defensive coverage for high-value air assets in a combat zone."

The exit of the KC-10 is part of the U.S. Air Force's comprehensive plan to review its old inventory with new aircraft that are cheaper to maintain and can withstand the demands of future wars.

The service is withdrawing the fleet of 59 Extender jets from service to make way for Boeing's new KC-46 Pegasus tanker aircraft, which can carry more than 212,000 pounds of fuel, 65,000 pounds of cargo and almost 60 passengers. The new fleet is also equipped with more defensive measures that can help it survive enemy attacks and is a test for communication software that can make it a data sharing center for forces in the area.

The KC-10s will continue to fly in the United States as the units complete the exchange of older fuselages and training on the KC-46, the statement said.

The first KC-10 went to the aircraft cemetery at Davis-Monthan Air Base, Arizona, in July 2020. The last of the fleet is scheduled to retire in September 2024.

Despite their age, aviators often consider the KC-10 their favorite fuselage in a fleet of tanker aircraft hampered by various software and hardware design problems.

The KC-135 Stratotanker faced years of flight restrictions while the service tried to fix the faulty autopilot software. And the KC-46 is in the middle of years of upgrades to its external chambers, the refueling boom, fuel leaks, load restrictions and much more that have delayed its full participation in global operations.

The KC-46 Pegasus is replacing the KC-10 and the KC-135 in the USAF.

The final deployment is a "bittersweet" end to KC-10 operations, Rush said in the statement.

"It's exciting for our community, as we've taken many of the best parts of the KC-10 culture we've built over the last 42 years and bring these best practices and experiences to a totally new weapon system," he said.

The Role of Ports in Efficient Sea Logistics Management

Ports play a crucial role in the framework of international andsea logistics, acting as key nodes that connect countries and continents. As vital components of sea logistics, ports serve as gateways for the movement of goods, facilitating seamless connectivity between various modes of transportation. The functionality of ports within sea logistics is essential, and that is what we will explore here.

Let’s dive into why and how ports play a crucial role in global sea logistics.

Sea Ports: Gateways to Global Trade

Ports seamlessly connect countries and continents, offering efficient and streamlined pathways for international trade. They facilitate the movement of goods between countries, ensuring the smooth handling of import, export, and transit shipments. To support efficient global trade, ports provide the necessary infrastructure, commodities, warehouses, and services that enable logistics companies to transport goods from one country to another with ease. Moreover, ports are well-connected to different modes of transportation, enabling transshipment between countries via trucks, trains, airplanes, and ships.

Efficient Warehousing Facilities

Ports are equipped to handle cargo efficiently, offering extensive cargo-handling capabilities, including warehouses that can store bulk goods. These facilities are ideal for storing temporary shipments that are ready for transport the same day or the next, via ship, truck, or train. Container terminals within ports manage a significant portion of global containerized trade. They come with container yards, handling equipment, and cranes, all of which ensure operational efficiency throughout the sea logistics supply chain.

Infrastructure for Ancillary Services

Many ports around the world provide facilities for ancillary services such as customs clearance, certification, inspection, and documentation. In addition to these services, ports also offer warehouses for value-added activities like labeling, packaging, repackaging, loading, and unloading. These services are a significant advantage for logistics companies operating along the supply chain. Furthermore, numerous ports feature well-established free trade zones or special economic zones, offering benefits such as streamlined bureaucratic procedures, favorable customs regulations, and tax incentives to promote international trade. Sea logistics continues to thrive due to the additional advantages that ports offer, boosting operational efficiency throughout the supply chain.

Employment Generation

Few people realize that ports also contribute significantly to economic growth by generating employment in sea logistics. Port operations create job opportunities for crane operators, dockworkers, customs officials, truck drivers, management personnel, and logistics professionals. Additionally, ports indirectly generate jobs in related industries such as warehousing, transportation, and manufacturing. Ports help to increase trade, attract businesses, and promote investment in surrounding areas.

The Bottom Line
