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, including the updated proposal for USTR fees on China-built ships calling at US ports and what it will mean for the alliances.

One the air cargo side, The Loadstar publisher Alex Lennane gives a summary of rates and how some carriers are coping with increased requirements from US customs.  She also updates listeners on the ongoing Flexport vs Freightmate court case. 

Finally, Mr van Marle summarises the Q1 earnings of Kuhne+Nagel and Ms Goldstone gives a preview of stories that might appear on The Loadstar this week.
