In part 1 Mike King and guests discuss slowing demand for container shipping, the challenging macroeconomic environment, heightened inventories, how union dockworker negotiations on the US West Coast are impacting the contracting season, and whether there will be a peak season this year.
In part 2 the focus turns to air cargo markets - how additional bellyhold capacity is affecting freighter operators, whether insurers are profiteering from humanitarian aid efforts in earthquake-stricken Syria, and where next for freight rates?
