International logistics and global events: a challenge to operational excellence

Erika Sáenz, Commercial Manager at International Line

In an increasingly interconnected world—yet one marked by geopolitical tensions, extreme climate events, disruptions in trade routes, and sudden regulatory changes—international transportation faces constant challenges. For those of us who are active players in this chain, such as global freight forwarders, the key to overcoming these difficulties lies in anticipating, adapting, and, above all, maintaining clear and timely communication within the ecosystem.

Recently, we’ve witnessed events that have directly impacted the flow of international logistics: from conflicts in strategic areas like the Red Sea, to restrictions at key ports, energy crises, and new regulations regarding tariffs, security, and the environment. In this context, the main responsibility of those of us in the industry is to deliver accurate information, make decisions based on reliable data, and collaborate closely with all stakeholders: shipping lines, airlines, ground operators, authorities, and of course, our clients.

Because the peace of mind of our clients comes not only from moving cargo from one place to another, but from supporting them through every stage of the process with strategic insight and responsiveness. And even though the global landscape may continue to shift, it is precisely in such moments that our commitment to transparent, agile, and resilient logistics is reaffirmed.

International transportation will continue to fulfill its essential mission of connecting markets and people. And companies in this field will be expected to stand strong—connecting decisions with solutions, in constant motion, yet always guided by trust, safety, and operational excellence.
