President’s Corner
This Thanksgiving was like none other as many American families limited their holiday gatherings. Retailers rolled out online deals early this year to avoid crowding in stores but online shopping records still shattered on Black Friday and again this week on Cyber Monday. Adobe Analytics reported $10.8 billion in Cyber Monday shopping, an increase of over 15% from last year. Non-profits, schools, and faith based organizations hope that record spending continues today on Giving Tuesday. WTDC welcomes our colleagues to participate in any of our annual giving traditions. We are collecting new pajamas again for the children of His House, see article below, and each year WTDC sponsors Christmas gifts for children of the incarcerated through the Angel Tree Program. Last week, we shared a video of our WTDC employees and my son pitching in for our annual Thanksgiving Food Drive. We hope the spirit of the holiday season encourages you to give back on Giving Tuesday. From our family to yours, we wish you a Happy Holidays!
-Sean Gazitua, President & CEO

FMC will now monitor top 3 shipping alliances monthly
Last week the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) issued notice to the top three global carrier alliances – 2M. Ocean Alliance, and THE Alliance – that it will request trade data monthly that had previously been reported quarterly. The Commission’s Bureau of Trade Analysis requested the change based on recent fluctuations in the market and so that they can better . Shipper complaints of high Trans-Pacific rates, demurrage and detention surges, and lack of export container availability spurred the FMC to begin investigating ocean carriers operating in alliances in November 2020.
