In 2024, the logistics industry faced significant disruptions from various disasters, including the shipping vessel Dali’s crash into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, which temporarily halted operations at the port. Labor disputes led to strikes in Canada and the U.S., affecting rail and port services. Additionally, natural disasters like tornadoes in Oklahoma and hurricanes in the Southeast severely impacted distribution networks. The ongoing Red Sea crisis led shipping lines to reroute, causing increased ocean freight rates, while a prolonged Canada Post strike further strained delivery services across Canada.
