NEW YORK -- Asia’s peak shipping season kicked off with pilot strikes, rate
increases and reports of tight space conditions in some areas, particularly in
regions that route cargo through transit hubs.
A strike by Polar Air Cargo pilots is expected to last through the peak season
and cut freighter capacity out of Shanghai, Hong Kong, Japan
and Korea,
said Trans Global Logistics USA, a major freight forwarder. Japan
Airlines and Asiana immediately imposed rate increases after the strike was announced Sept. 16. The full impact of the strike is expected
to hit toward the end of the month, TGL said.
Carriers are also hiking fuel surcharges by as much as 67 cents per kilogram.
ST. PETERSBURG, FL -- Jabil Circuit Inc. yesterday reported

Proprietary technology from Interface Sciences Corp. uses
dense molecular arrangement on the nanoscale in addition to the use of
unconventional molecules.
Dr. Damon Brink, ISC's chief science and
technology officer said, the concept "leads to a
stronger, more reliable product at a fraction of the cost, while
enabling low-cost resin and material systems to be used in
high-performance boards assembled with lead-free solder."
The firm said the solution mediates problems stemming from the use of lead-free solders.
Interface Sciences is an
early-stage nanotechnology commercialization company holding platform
technologies that were developed by a major government laboratory. The
company's emphasis is on materials and surface innovation at the
nanoscale.
