Gaza Aid Ship Activists Vow To Press On With Campaign
Gaza-bound British-flagged yacht "Madleen" is docked next to a military boat Ashdod port following a takeover by the Israeli army, in Ashdod, Israel, June 10, 2025. REUTERS/Nir Elias BERLIN, June 13 (Bernama-Anadolu) -- Two activists detained by Israel after attempting to break the Gaza blockade returned to Berlin on Thursday, strongly criticising Israeli military actions and pledging to continue their humanitarian mission, Anadolu Ajansi reported. Turkish citizen Suayb Ordu and German citizen Yasemin Acar arrived at Berlin-Brandenburg Airport (BER), where they were greeted by a crowd of Palestine supporters. Amid emotional scenes and chants supporting Palestine, supporters presented flowers to both activists. Speaking to reporters, Ordu said their experience of risking their lives on board the Gaza-bound boat Madleen was minor compared to the immense suffering of Palestinian civilians in Gaza. bootstrap slideshow "The lives of Gazans are as valuable as all of our lives," he said, emphasising their commitment to continue the humanitarian campaign. "Everyone should follow the 'March to Gaza.' There must be no barriers. The blockade needs to end – both by land and sea. People continue to die from bombardment. Our sole purpose is to stop this war, to stop this genocide." His wife Sumeyra, fighting back tears during the reunion, affirmed their commitment: "We won't give up until the Gaza blockade is broken." German citizen Acar condemned Israeli authorities for illegally seizing the Madleen boat in international waters and forcibly detaining the peaceful activists for several days. 'They kidnapped us, against our will, brought us and jailed us for almost four days,' Acar said. 'They are breaching international law while occupying Gaza. And the international community needs to stop its complicity. They need to stop sending weapons. They need to send aid instead of weapons,' she said. The British-flagged vessel Madleen departed Sicily, Italy on June 6 bound for Gaza, attempting to break Israel's naval blockade of the enclave. The territory has seen over 55,000 deaths from Israeli military operations since October 2023, while 2 million Palestinians risk famine due to restrictions on humanitarian aid. Israeli forces seized the Madleen in international waters early Monday and detained its 12-strong crew.

German activist hailed at Berlin airport after Israeli deportation
A German activist whose attempt to sail to Gaza was intercepted by Israel was welcomed home with loud cheers at Berlin airport on Thursday. Yasemin Acar was on board the Madleen alongside other prominent figures such as Greta Thunberg when it was diverted to Israel on Monday by military forces. She was deported back to Germany, where she was met by a dense crowd of people carrying Palestinian flags and scarves amid chants of "Freedom for Palestine" and "Freedom for Yasemin." In a press conference at the airport, Acar accused Israel of kidnapping the crew members of the Madleen in international waters. "We will not stop," Acar said. "We will come back until we stop the siege." Acar is known to the police for her public appearances and anti-Israel slogans. The reception at the airport was chaotic as people crowded around the activist, with one man lifting her onto his shoulder. Police estimated that at least 100 people were there. The activist group had set sail from Sicily in early June, seeking to bring humanitarian aid such as baby food and medical supplies to civilians in the Gaza Strip, while drawing international attention to the critical humanitarian situation.

Logistics GDP share rose in '24, not likely to drop: CSCMP report
New York–Spending in the U.S. on logistics rose in both absolute dollar terms and as a percentage of GDP, and it isn't likely to go down anytime soon. That was one of the primary conclusions of the annual logistics report released last week by the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) at a media briefing in New York. This year's report was entitled 'Navigating Through the Fog.' Kevin Smith, the moderator of the panel and the president and CEO of Sustainable Supply Chain Consulting, joked about the title and the logistics environment. 'This should be an easy session today,' he said. 'Not much has changed.' The first part of the presentation was led by Korhan Acar, a partner at Kearney, the global management consulting firm that produced the report in conjunction with the CSCMP. Acar, referring to the title of the report, said 'I don't think it requires any explanation why we call it that, coming out of recent uncertainty.' The CSCMP report puts an estimate on what it calls total U.S. business logistics costs (USBLC). The increase last year was $133 billion, a jump of 5.4%, to $2.58 trillion, up from $2.447 trillion the prior year. The decrease from 2022 to 2023 was 8.3%. Despite that, the five year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in total USBLC is 8%. Acar said outlays for logistics in the U.S. last year were about 8.8% of nominal GDP. With that number having fluctuated mostly in about the 7.4% to 8% range through most of the post-COVID period, and now having reached 8.8%, Acar said 'we have started to stabilize.' But the base percentage of logistics spending as a percentage of GDP is stabilizing at a higher level than what was seen pre-COVID. 'If a higher basis forms, what this really means is that logistics costs have been increasing as a percentage of GDP,' Acar said. 'They're going to be a little bit more prominent and pronounced in the profit and loss statements of companies.' There could be a retraction back to pre-COVID levels, Acar said. But that is not likely given various trends. One of those trends is what Acar referred to as 'China plus one, China plus two,' which is an 'elongation of supply chains' where a company expands its base of suppliers beyond a total or near-total reliance on China and goes to one or two other suppliers. Given that sort of philosophical change, as well as a long list of other disruptions like Houthi attacks in the Red Sea, 'cost and logistics are not seeing any kind of downward pressure,' Acar said. 'So we do expect that to remain at an escalated baseline for next year as well.' The CSCMP report calculates the USBLC as the total of various segment expenditures as well as other activities, such as inventories. The biggest contributor to the increase in the total figure last year was the cost of water transportation, up 93.1% to $161.6 billion. That's an increase of $77.9 billion. And that means that increased waterborne logistics costs accounted for more than 58% of the total increase last year. Acar said increased costs related to restricted traffic through the Red Sea and Suez Canal due to Houthi attacks was the primary driver of that trend. But for total expenditures, motor carriers are at the top of the list. The USBLC compiled by the report's authors said full truckload transportation costs fell to $387 billion in 2024 from $408.7 billion a year earlier. In the bull truckload market of 2022, the spend total was $490 billion, so that the full truckload spend in 2024 was down more than $100 billion in just two years. LTL spend, according to the report, is remarkably stable: $66 billion in 2022, $66 billion last year, $64 billion in between. Widespread talk in the trucking sector that there has been a growing shift to private or dedicated fleets did show up in the CSCMP report. It said the category that CSCMP calls private or dedicated motor carrier spending was $541.4 billion last year. That was up from $528.4 billion a year earlier, and way up from $461.7 billion in 2022. The compound annual growth rate in the last five years for the category is 12.3%. In the report's summary for the 2025 outlook for motor carriers, the CSCMP report did a quick summary of 2024–'spot and contract rates for full truckload shipments modestly declined throughout the year'–but pivoted to talk about the 2025 outlook which is 'now clouded by escalating global geopolitical tensions.' 'For US carriers, tariffs may introduce new financial pressures that, combined with potential declines in freight volume, will continue to squeeze carrier margins,' the report said. 'As the market moves deeper into 2025, the trucking industry finds itself suspended in midair, waiting to see how these complex forces will unfold.' The report ticked off the potential impact on trucking from tariffs, most of which have been discussed extensively for many months, before and after 'Liberation Day.' Higher tariffs on trucks coming out of Mexico and Canada 'could drive up equipment costs and load to shortages,' the report said. Acar cited ATA warnings that a 25% tariff on imports from Mexico could add $35,000 to the cost of a new truck. An S&P Global Mobility report said a 9% increase in new truck prices could slice demand for new vehicles by 17%. Cutting back new truck purchases in favor of extending the life of an existing fleet could lead to higher maintenance costs. The end result, according to the CSCMP report: 'this situation could both accelerate the exit of existing carriers and discourage new entrants, resulting in a slower pace of fleet expansion.' Acar reviewed data from Morgan Stanley on contract and spot rates. He said based on conversations with shippers, it was unlikely contract rates would fall below the $2 per mile mark. 'For the majority of the shippers I know, pushing carriers to below the $2 mark is not going to be healthy, and it's going to start to cause some performance issues,' he said. 'That's why I think contract rates stay somewhere relatively over that $2 mark.' The presentation was followed by a panel discussion that included Paul Bingham, director of transportation consulting at S&P Global Market Intelligence (NYSE: SPGI); Andy Moses, senior vice president of solutions and sales strategies at Penske Logistics; Brendan Dillon, senior vice president of global inventory management, transportation and trade, at Target (NYSE: TGT); and Dr. Noel Hacegaba, chief operating officer at the Port of Long Beach (who spoke to FreightWaves on a separate topic after the presentation). In other notable findings in the report: RAIL: The growth of rail is hindered by inadequate transloading capacity and operators. The facilities, the CSCMP report said, 'is fragmented and underdeveloped, primarily operated by third-party providers that lack access to sufficient capital, and railroads are not incentivized to operate transloading facilities directly because doing so will undermine operating ratio.' But that underinvestment, the report said, leaves shippers with no choice but to turn to trucks, 'which erodes railroad revenues, drives up costs for shippers, increases road congestion and exacerbates environmental impacts.' 3PLs: 3PLs increasingly need to become 4PLs, the CSCMP report said. The cost-plus model won't work today, according to the report, and 3PLs must provide 'alternative routings…and more agile systems.' They also need to be able to provide 'multiple service options for contingency planning.' That may involve moving deeper into last mile capabilities, the report said.

Fairmont Launches First Brand Campaign in 4 Years
Fairmont hopes it can keep its longtime guests while becoming more inclusive and winning over a new wave of travelers. Fairmont Hotels & Resorts has launched its first global brand campaign since 2021, and though there's a luxury backdrop, the hotel group says the message is about how guests feel in quiet, everyday moments. Fairmont is rolling out a series of bookable offerings under the banner 'Special Happens...' These include after-hours spa rituals under the stars, yoga by a waterfall, and chocolate-making workshops. The goal, according to Raffles & Fairmont CEO Omer Acar, is to focus on moments that feel personal, not grand. And the idea is to turn that concept into a service standard – no easy feat across 92 hotels in 30 countries. Acar said Fairmont is building "a new service culture," training colleagues worldwide to create "special" moments, not just for VIPs or major events, but also in everyday guest interactions. There's also an ad campaign called "Make Special Happen." A short film, shot at the Fairmont Royal York in Toronto, follows a cast of characters preparing for a grand celebration. It's clearly luxury – with hand-delivered, handwritten invitations – but it's inclusive and not stuffy. Acar said the idea for it didn't come from a creative agency but from an internal workshop. "We started a year ago with a select group of general managers, regional vice presidents, and executive team members sitting in a room to identify what is special about Fairmont," he said. "Fairmont is a hotel company that has been making special things happen for decades." Looking for Relevance Across Generations Fairmont was founded in 1907 and has hosted historic events that include the signing of the United Nations Charter, Truman Capote's Black and White Ball, and John Lennon and Yoko Ono's Bed-In for Peace. The campaign draws on that heritage while trying to make the idea of "special" feel contemporary. With input from consultancy Codec, the company identified five "cultural communities" it hopes to reach, categories it calls: the escapist, active lifestyles, status tastemakers, the social culturalist, and the event mavens. "A study was done about who the pillars are and our guests are. Who are we addressing? Who have we been addressing, and who should we continue to address?" said Acar. Acar says Fairmont wants to appeal to a younger generation of travelers without alienating its longtime guests. "We are looking at a new generation, but we are also not forgetting our heritage," Acar said. "It's important to highlight that it is not only focused on one group of travelers, but it is celebrating multi-generational travelers." "We want the brand to be stylish, not only trendy, because the style has staying power, and trends, as you know, come and go. So, if we follow this, we don't believe we can lose." Acar added.
