In this episode of The Loadstar’s News in Brief Podcast, host and news reporter Charlotte Goldstone recaps last week’s supply chain news, including highlights from IATA’s World Cargo Symposium.
She is joined by The Loadstar publisher Alex Lennane who discusses how shippers have reacted to a tariff exemption for electronics, which airports saw the most cargo in 2024, and Honkong Post’s reaction to “bullying”.
Then, The Loadstar’s managing editor Gavin van Marle and Ms Goldstone chat about how frontloading has led to an early transpacific peak season and what this is doing to those trying to negotiate a contract.
Finally, Mr van Marle offers you the latest ocean freight rates - and their relevance in today's environment - and Ms Goldstone gives a preview of stories that might appear on The Loadstar this week.
