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 European port congestion and a Red Sea update.

On the air cargo side, The Loadstar publisher Alex Lennane explains why tariffs and ecommerce are in the legal spotlight and looks at how capacity is moving in the wake of de minimis changes.
