Show Notes

The Loadstar’s managing editor, Gavin van Marle, discusses exactly how the Red Sea crisis has caused complications along the Asia to Europe trade, and how this translated into last week's ocean freight rates.

And The Loadstar publisher, Alex Lennane, explains how things are heating up in air cargo and what this is doing to air freight rates, as well as summarising the key points of a recent Flexport legal battle. 

So, what are you waiting for? This bite-sized news podcast will catch you up on anything you might have missed last week and put you ahead of the curve on this week’s happenings, all in under 10 minutes.
