This episode looks at the supply chain and insurance fallout following the tragic Dali incident in Baltimore in March.
Host Mike King and guests also examine the decline of the port of Hong Kong, why air cargo demand is surprising analysts, and the latest detention and demurrage cases being filed with the US Federal Maritime Commission.
How the Red Sea crisis is currently impacting air and ocean networks, why trans-Pacific contract negotiations have stalled, and whether rejigs of the container alliance system will be beneficial for customers are also on the agenda.

Stephanie Loomis, Head of Ocean Freight, North America, Rhenus Logistics
Niall van de Wouw, Chief Airfreight Officer, Xeneta
