Show Notes

In part 1, creator and host Mike King is joined by the Loadstar’s Alex Lennane and Xeneta’s Peter Sand. They examine the latest rate movements, decipher the peak season, discuss why forwarders are retaining their own air cargo capacity, and try and work out exactly what is going on at Flexport.

Part 2 is an exclusive interview with possibly the world’s most powerful container shipping regulator: Daniel Maffei, Chairman of the US Federal Maritime Commission. 

He outlines how competition authorities across the world cooperate, what the future of detention and demurrage charges looks like, and what the FMC will do with its extended range of post-pandemic powers. He also explains what President Joe Biden thinks of the world of box shipping and freight.
