Serviced mainly by both sea and air modes of transportation, the 2012 dollar value of imports destined for Alaska was $2.1 billion and native Alaskan exports were $4.5 billion. The largest export category is fish and other marine products followed by natural resource products. In Alaska for marine transportation, the Aleutian Islands are a major transit for the Great Circle Route linking commerce from the US west coast to southern Asia. Shipping is also expanding through the Bering Strait, a 53-mile wide chokepoint that links both the Northern (Russia) and Northwest (Canada) passages to northern Asian, Russian, and European commerce. For air transportation the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (ANC) is ranked second in the US for landed weight of cargo aircraft, and sixth in the world for cargo traffic (Airports Council International). ANC holds a unique position among international air gateways in the United States. In 1996, the US Department of Transportation began to permit air carriers from foreign countries (except those from the United Kingdom and Japan) to conduct expanded cargo activities at ANC. These activities included cargo transfer from a foreign carrier’s aircraft to any of its other aircraft, transfer from a foreign carrier to any US air carrier, and transfer from one foreign carrier to any other foreign carrier without being considered to have broken its international journey. In 2004 domestic and foreign carriers were afforded more flexibility and the outbound-US operations through ANC were afforded increased liberalization for the first time. ANC and Fairbanks International Airport (FAI) are the only two airports in the United States to have been granted these liberal air cargo transfer capabilities. Anchorage is within a group of airports that have an important role in global air cargo commerce. Most are origin or destination hubs (or both), while Anchorage’s historic role has been strategic and operational. All operate technologically advanced facilities and are capable of high throughput operations. The primary air freight hubs include: ● Frankfurt Airport which is Europe’s busiest cargo hub ● FedEx Express Super Hub, Memphis International Airport, US ● Dubai Cargo Gateway, Dubai International Airport, UAE ● Hong Kong International Airport, Hong Kong AIAS Air Cargo EDO Assessment Page 3 ● Louisville International Airport ● Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport, France ● Changi Airfreight Centre, Singapore Changi Airport, Singapore ● Cargo terminal complex, Incheon International Airport, South Korea ● Shanghai Pudong International Airport Cargo Terminal, Shanghai, China ● Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, Anchorage, US ANC was not immune to the precipitous drop in air cargo traffic during 2008 and 2009, when global air cargo traffic fell 3.2% and 9.6%, respectively----the first time that air cargo traffic contracted in two consecutive years. ANC Total Annual Cargo Volume (MT) Year Volume %Change 2006 2,808,317 2.6 2007 2,825,511 0.6 2008 2,339,831 (15.7) 2009 1,994,629 (15) 2010 2,646,695 36.6 2011 2,543,155 (3.9) 2012 2,463,646 (3.1) 2013 2,421,145 (1.7) Source: Airports Council International The global economic downturn of 2008 and 2009, the worst economic contraction since the Great Depression, had the effect of dragging down all modes of transport. Air cargo traffic fell 12.8% between mid-2008 and year-end 2009, the worst decline since the beginning of the jet transport age. By mid-2009, however, worldwide industrial production and consumer demand began to increase, nudging air cargo traffic toward recovery. Air cargo surged in 2010 as world industry moved to restock depleted inventories. ANC’s numbers generally followed the global trends.

But starting in June 2010, jet fuel prices were on the rise, climbing 42% by December 2011. This contributed significantly to an air cargo traffic slowdown that was aggravated by the civil unrest of the Arab Spring uprisings, the Japan (“Tohoku”) earthquake and flooding in Thailand. The latter two shocks disrupted the manufacture of automotive components and information technology (IT) goods, both of which are key commodity groups for air cargo and the ANC route. ANC cargo throughput declined 14% between 2007 and 2013. Rising fuel prices have also been a factor in air cargo traffic slowdowns since late 2004, diverting air cargo to road transport and maritime modes, which are less sensitive to fuel costs. Air cargo demand has been affected by excess capacity in seaborne trade since the beginning of the economic downturn which has lowered shipping rates. The price of jet fuel has tripled over the past 8 years, and prices are likely to remain volatile as the threat of supply disruptions persists. In January of 2014, oil and jet fuel prices were forecasted, in some scenarios, to remain around mid-2012 levels and then decline over the next 3 to 5 years. However recent tensions, including the Ukraine and further Middle East unrest have sparked an upward trend and now IATA is projecting higher oil prices that are expected to average $108 a barrel which is $3.50 per barrel above previous projections.

IN-TRANSIT CARGO CRIME IMPACTING THE RETAIL SUPPLY CHAIN John Tabor1 National Retail Systems, Inc. ABSTRACT Surveys of retail security directors show that almost half of those polled had been the victims of a supply- chain disruption directly related to cargo theft. This is a significant increase from just five years ago. In order to fully understand the issue of cargo theft, retailers need to know why it exists, who is perpetrating it, how risk can be reduced, and ultimately how to react to a loss. This article explores a number of dimensions of the issue, and offers several suggestions for mitigating the risk and dealing with theft after it occurs. INTRODUCTION That said, remember that virtually 100 percent of the merchandise in retail stores is delivered by truck. Surveys of retail security directors showed that In many cases the only two preventative measures almost half of those polled had been the victims of a put in place to secure that same merchandise in supply-chain disruption directly related to cargo transit is a key to the tractor and a seal on the rear theft.

    Shipbuilding A promising rst half, an uncertain second one 2018 started briskly in the wake of 2017. In the rst half of the year, newbuilding orders were placed at a rate of about 10m dwt per month. However the pace dropped in the second half, as owners grappled with a rise in newbuilding prices and growing uncertainty over the IMO 2020 deadline. Regardless, newbuilding orders rose to 95.5m dwt in 2018 versus 83.1m dwt in 2017. Demand for bulkers, container carriers and specialised ships increased, while for tankers it receded, re ecting low freight rates and poor sentiment. Thanks to this additional demand, shipbuilders succeeded in raising newbuilding prices by about 10%. This enabled them to pass on some of the additional building costs resulting from higher steel prices, new regulations and increased pressure from marine suppliers, who have also been struggling since 2008.

My family has accompanied me every step of the way, encouraging and supporting me: materially and financially, emotionally and spiritually, and academically. From KU to MU, you all loved me and believed in me throughout every endeavor. This thesis is dedicated to my family, and most especially, to my parents Alicia and Francisco Medina. Mom and Dad: As a child, I often did not recognize and, far too often, took for granted the sacrifices that you made for me. Sitting and writing a thesis is a difficult task, but it is not as difficult as any of the tasks you two undertook to ensure my well-being, security, and happiness and to see me through to this goal.
