The Loadstar Podcast is live from TPM24 in Long Beach, California. In this episode host Mike King hears what the mood is like at the logistics and shipping event of the year, which speakers have really delivered insight, and what negotiating stances BCOs, forwarders and carriers are taking in ongoing trans-Pacific contract negotiations.
Mike and guests also discuss the latest on the realignment of container shipping alliances, including what two leading carrier CEOs divulged at TPM24. They also examine why cargo is being funnelled towards US West Coast gateways and how US shippers and forwarders are coping with a “perfect storm” of supply chain disruptions.
Guests:
Doug Smith, CEO, DP World Canada
Dennis Grady, VP for Ocean, Ascent Global Logistics
Gavin van Marle, Managing Editor, The Loadstar
Mike Wackett, Sea Freight Correspondent, The Loadstar
