As planning for international logistics in 2026 gets underway in earnest, how you read the transport environment is one of the things that decides whether those plans work.
Many companies already have a broad sense of container shipping delays, port congestion, and the rise and fall of skipped port calls from various reports and news coverage. Even so, it is common that how all of it affects your own transport plans — and where you should have been paying attention — has not really been pinned down.
This webinar looks back at container shipping from October to December 2025, covering
- delay trends for exports to and imports from major ports in North America, Europe, and Asia
- port congestion at major Asian ports
- what was actually happening with skipped calls at major ports in Japan and Asia
using real data, and pulls together what it means to grasp the situation quantitatively, with data, when planning for 2026 — and what to watch out for when working with that data.
Rethinking the situation on the facts rather than on impressions, and using that to prepare for next year.
Consider it an end-of-year check-up.
- You want to get the second half of 2025’s transport environment properly organized
- You want to check whether your own instincts are off
- Your visibility work has progressed and you are ready to get serious about using the data
We are preparing this webinar so that anyone in that position comes away with plenty to act on.
We hope you will join us.

Koji Nakata (Representative Director, Harbitt, Inc.)
[Background]
After completing undergraduate and graduate studies at the University of Tokyo, joined NYK Line, covering several dozen shippers and forwarders in container shipping sales across export, import, and cross-trade business. Moved to Accenture out of a conviction that established industries were struggling to digitize, and consulted for many large companies across a range of sectors, mainly on DX projects. Went on to support open innovation at large corporations at Plug and Play Japan before taking the current role.
