São Paulo – International logistics corridors are undergoing a significant transformation, shifting the focus away from cost and transit time to adaptability. Sara El-Gazzar, an Egyptian logistics expert, shared her insights during her visit to Brazil last week. El-Gazzar, who is a Dean at the Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport and a senior consultant to the Union of Arab Chambers, highlighted that the current impact of geopolitics on global shipping routes has made this transformation more urgent.
El-Gazzar argued that competitiveness in transport is no longer measured by the cheapest or most efficient mode but by adaptability. The new landscape requires countries to build networks rather than simple port connections and rethink business management. Brazil's logistics connection with Arab countries should not be judged based solely on geographical connections; instead, networks should be prioritized.
She emphasized that Brazil should be viewed as Latin America, and the different routes connecting Brazil to various Latin American countries should be explored as gateways to Latin America. Similarly, the Arab countries' geographical position alone is no longer sufficient; alternative hubs and networks must be considered.
El-Gazzar pointed out that countries with adaptability and resilience, rather than those relying on traditional routes, will thrive in the new dynamic environment. The traditional formula of delivering products at the lowest cost, time, and highest quality is no longer applicable. Instead, a trade-off approach is now necessary, as countries must be prepared to sacrifice cost or time to ensure timely delivery of goods and services.
