We're closing out our special series on Pax Silica and the Luzon Economic Corridor (LEC). Part 3 lays out concrete steps to operationalize both projects on the customs and transport sides — plus the pitfalls if implementation lags, from a "railway with nowhere to legally go" to pledges that never convert to disbursed capital.

The upside? We also break down exactly what freight forwarders, customs brokers, and logistics providers stand to gain if both initiatives get it right.

Published just ahead of the inaugural LEC Investment Forum on September 10-11.

Major ports in Asia, the leading exports region, have been experiencing , driving significant delays for global container vessels, according to Sea-Intelligence.

Globally, container vessel schedule reliability dropped to 56.4% in July 2026, a decline of 6.1 percentage points (pp) month on month (m/m), the sharpest single‑month decline since January 2021.

Concurrently, the average delay for late vessel arrivals climbed to 6.06 days, an increase of 0.59 days m/m., based on data by the global supply chain industry research and advisory firm.

“This pronounced drop was driven primarily by congestion across major Asian ports,” said Sea-Intelligence CEO Alan Murphy.
