Show Notes

In this episode of The Loadstar’s News in Brief Podcast, host and news reporter Charlotte Goldstone recaps last week’s supply chain news, starting with a situation update on tariffs and de minimis. 

She is joined by The Loadstar’s managing editor, Gavin van Marle, who discusses how ocean carriers had responded to a market impacted by tariffs and gives the latest on the USTR 301 rule on China-built vessels. 

The Loadstar publisher Alex Lennane delves into how airlines managed their networks as a result of volume uncertainty and why airfreight rates from Dhaka are set to fly.

The episode also details last week’s updates to key market M&A moves, including DB Schenker and DSV, GXO and Wincanton, Panama Ports Company and Hutchison and HMM.  

And, as always, The Loadstar journalists offer you the latest ocean and air freight rates.   

Ms Goldstone then concludes the episode with a preview of stories that might appear on The Loadstar this week.      

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, in just 21 minutes!
