Cargo Intelligence, handpicked for leaders
LogisPicks goes beyond market headlines to explain the forces behind cargo data: trade, capacity, pricing, policy and operations, and how they connect across regions and modes.
We handpick credible global trade and freight information, connect the numbers to what is happening at airports, ports and along corridors, and explain what the evidence means in plain language.
Our aim is to give readers a clearer basis for judgment while being honest about what the data cannot tell them.
ONE CONNECTED INDUSTRY
A wider perspective.
A clearer picture.
HOW WE LOOK AT THE WORLD
Context turns information into intelligence.
The wider supply chain.
A change in cargo volume can reflect demand, capacity, a policy shift or a change in routing. We bring these signals together across modes and regions without treating one number as the whole story.
Clear evidence. Clear limits.
We distinguish publication dates from reporting periods, freight from mail, and weather exposure from confirmed disruption. Gaps and differences in coverage remain visible.

Coverage note
The briefing combines The Loadstar and Transport Topics reporting, HKSAR Government transport releases, GOV.UK and European Commission updates, plus journal research metadata from Crossref. Disruption Watch adds current FCDO transport advisory excerpts across monitored markets, Hong Kong Marine Department restriction/works notices, active MARAD maritime security advisories and FAA operational bulletins. FCDO pages are standing country advice and may concern passenger travel or route security; they do not establish cargo-terminal uptime. A country without a matching advisory is not declared operational. Source update and collection dates are shown separately. Weather hazards remain a separate filter. Sources can be delayed or incomplete.

THE NUMBERS BEHIND GLOBAL PULSEGlobal Pulse sources & methodologyView methodology
Source snapshots checked 11 November 2026
Reporting dates: each headline uses the latest non-null observation retrieved from the named source. Economic headlines are monthly; airport periods differ because publication schedules differ. Annual container statistics and disruption feeds are excluded. Global Pulse currently presents a verified data snapshot checked on 11 November 2026. It is not a live counter of cargo movements; the displayed reporting months are the periods actually measured.
New York Fed: Global Supply Chain Pressure Index. The month-on-month difference is calculated by LogisPicks. © 2026 Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Content is subject to its Terms of Use. The New York Fed does not endorse this page.
OECD: OECD (2026), Composite Leading Indicators and International Merchandise Trade Statistics, accessed 11 November 2026 through the OECD SDMX service. CLI selections use monthly frequency, major G20 economies, amplitude adjustment, and index levels. Trade selections use total goods, worldwide counterpart, monthly frequency, current US dollars at current exchange rates, and no seasonal adjustment. Values are in billions; balances are calculated by LogisPicks. No country figures are summed into a world total. Reuse follows OECD data terms, including attribution requirements.
World Bank: World Bank Commodity Price Data (The Pink Sheet), monthly energy index, November 2026 release. Source: Commodity Markets. Dataset made available under CC BY 4.0. Period selection and month-on-month change are by LogisPicks. No endorsement is implied.
Eurostat: AVIA_GOOA, accessed 11 November 2026, © European Union. Selection: freight and mail loaded and unloaded, total schedule, total coverage, monthly, tonnes. Latest airport totals are checked against their components. Growth and chart presentation are calculated by LogisPicks; Eurostat is not responsible for these adaptations. Reuse terms.
Singapore: contains information from “Civil Aircraft Arrivals And Departures, Passengers, Air Cargo Tonnage And Mail - Changi Airport, Monthly,” accessed on 11 November 2026 from data.gov.sg, under the Singapore Open Data Licence version 1.0. Air cargo excludes the separate mail series. Year-on-year change compares the same month in the preceding year.
Australia: Bureau of Infrastructure and Transport Research Economics (2026), International airline activity, July 2026, table 4, pages 15–16, published 14 October 2026. CC BY 4.0. Values are transcribed from the retrieved official PDF; an automated spreadsheet connection is not established. The series covers scheduled international freight, excluding mail. Only the current month and its source comparison are presented; no monthly trend is invented.
Los Angeles: Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA), September 2026 TCOM and Volume of Air Traffic reports, released 22 October. LAWA-authored information is in the public domain unless otherwise marked. Total freight and mail is 201,831 source-labelled tons. Metric versus short-ton basis has not been established; no conversion is applied. Values are transcribed from the official PDF, including its rounding convention.
Narita: Tokyo Customs, Narita Air Cargo Sub-Branch, September 2026 international cargo handling report and monthly workbook, published 21 October. Public Data License 1.0. Monthly observations are parsed from the workbook, with loaded and unloaded amounts checked against the PDF. International handling includes temporary landing/transfer cargo; domestic cargo and separate mail figures are not added. The chart is LogisPicks’ presentation.
Taoyuan: Taiwan Civil Aviation Administration, Table 3, civil airport operations by airport, 115 (2026), updated 27 October. Monthly rows in Taoyuan’s metric-tonnes cargo column are parsed from the official workbook. Freight and mail include transfer cargo and exclude baggage. Year-on-year change is calculated by LogisPicks. Taiwan Open Government Data License 1.0; no endorsement is implied.
Heathrow: UK Civil Aviation Authority, August 2026, table 14, published 14 October. Sum of mutually exclusive freight categories, in tonnes, excludes mail. Cross-checked against table 13’s rounded total. CAA statistical disclaimer requires attribution in publications and prohibits resale of its statistical data. These statistics are presented in the free-to-read Global Pulse page; no data export or statistical-data resale is offered. Heathrow operator statistics are not used.
Airport comparisons: selected gateways are not comprehensive global coverage. Singapore excludes mail; the Eurostat gateways include it; Heathrow is freight only; Australian figures cover scheduled international freight; Narita is international handling; Taoyuan includes mail and transfer cargo. LAX retains its original unconfirmed ton basis. Transfer conventions differ. These volumes are not aggregated or used as a like-for-like ranking. Approximate airport locations are displayed over a public-domain Natural Earth basemap.
