Fresh dust has settled in Europe’s ports after last week’s strikes – but the disruption is far from over. Host Charlotte Goldstone updates you on the ripple effects in Antwerp, Bruges and Rotterdam before tackling the biggest story of the week: the tense MEPC84 meeting where the IMO’s net zero framework was met with an unexpected twist from US sanctions threats against countries that say ‘yes’.
Meanwhile, Gavin van Marle talks about China expanding its port spending range, how alliances are fighting to dominate capacity, and why the market is for lower contract rates, despite GRI pressure in November.
In airfreight, Alex Lennon joins us to outline the UPS package debacle, Flexport’s AI-driven improvements to logistics reliability and a cyberattack that put DSV in the spotlight last week. Plus, Ms. Goldstone shares insights from Aviation Connect in Copenhagen.
