Show Notes

As the freight and shipping industry waits for China to unshackle its people and global trade from Covid-19, creator and editor Mike King looks not only at what might happen on key trades lanes in the next weeks and months, he also explores whether global supply chains as we’ve known them are now finished? Is a fundamental reset on the way? And who will be driving it if so?

We also have the build-up to the peak shipping season, air cargo freight rate updates, a look at the preparedness of US surface transport, and the latest regulations covering the vast business that is the global illegal wildlife trade.

Credits: created, produced and hosted by Mike King
