Will the harbor terminals suffer from global trade wars?

The current global trade wars will for sure impact all of use in one way or another. There will for sure impact the amount being delivered and arriving at the main ports. The question is though if it will be a significant and long standing disruption. It might also lead to a shift in how the logistics is done. It will most likely not be a big decline, but it is more likely to stifle the growth. So there will be a similar demand of equipment at the main ports as well as in the various terminals.

In the big global logistics network there is a big need for tires if high quality that can manage heavy loads, be durable and have long service life to ensure that there is no disruption in the logistics chain and allow timely deliveries of goods around the globe. You have everything from wheeled equipment in the terminals, such as terminal tractors and RTG-cranes, which have strict requirements on needed terminal tractor tires and RTG-tires. These need to be able to carry very heavy loads, be able to turn easily and in small areas and be durable enough so that they will not break down and cause expensive downtime and repairs.

From once the containers have been picked up and started its trip towards its end destination, which can be a terminal for repacking or then straight to the end destination, the long haul truck ride begins. Here the requirements shift, you will still need tires that can carry heavy loads, but here the long haul properties start playing a key role. You need low rolling resistance to ensure low heat build-up and low tire wear combined with low fuel consumption. High quality haul tires are built to manage this.

When you purchase high quality tires, they can often be retreaded. Retreaded tires will have basically the same properties as the original tire, if the retreading is done on a good carcass and the new tread is of high quality. Retreading can be done as long as the carcass is in good conditions after the original tread has worn down. You can retread a good condition carcass 1 to 2 times. This will have a very positive impact on your tire budget.
