As the freight and shipping industry waits for China to unshackle its people and global trade from Covid-19, Mike King looks not only at what might happen on key tradelanes in the weeks and months ahead; he also explores whether global supply chains, as we’ve known them, are now finished? Is a fundamental reset on the way? And, if so, who will be driving it?
We also look at the build-up to the peak shipping season, air cargo freight rate updates, a look at the preparedness of US surface transport, and the latest regulations covering the vast business that is the global illegal wildlife trade.
