Show Notes

This episode examines why turning the temperature dial up on the cold chain makes a lot of sense, not least from an energy and emissions saving perspective. Host Mike King and guests also explore why collaboration in the supply chain is the best route to sustainability and look forward to TPM24 in Long Beach when the logistics world converges on California to discuss the latest supply chain challenges and negotiate those critical long-term trans-Pacific ocean freight contracts. The Red Sea crisis, Panama Canal water levels and the threat of union action at US East Coast ports will all be factors during this tendering season.

Mike and guests also discuss where container rates might go next, who might buy DB Schenker and why the Asia-Europe trade has settled into some kind of ‘new normal’.

Piotr Konopka, Group Vice President Global Decarbonisation & Energy Programmes, DP World

Mark Szakonyi, Executive Editor, Journal of Commerce

Dirk Hoffmann, Account Director, Reefer Supply Chain Services, DP World
