Show Notes

If you think East Coast versus West Coast is all about rappers, think again. In Part 2 of this episode the Loadstar examines cargo shifts in the US this year from a global perspective and from a port operator’s viewpoint. Host Mike King speaks to Peter Sand, chief analyst at Xeneta, and Stephen A. Edwards, CEO and executive director of Virginia Port Authority.

Part 1 of this episode also asks if the slowdown in e-commerce is overstated and examines the limited achievements and many failings of IATA’s hosting of its World Cargo Symposium in London. We also preview COP 27 and ask where next for the EC’s liner consortia competition rule exemptions.
