Nowhere to go but up — Navigate B2B

How the container ship vertical is making carriers rich

Navigating the world of container shipping is difficult and Steve Ferreira tries to shed some light on that world in this episode of Navigate B2B. 

Ferreira discusses how, sometimes with baling wire holding it all together, container shipping’s “jet blast” is akin to a container ship taking off vertically. At the same time, the huge volume increase into North America is coming on ships that are, in some cases, past their demolition dates. 

Get the details on how this chaos is creating record-breaking profits for the ocean freight industry, and from an importer’s perspective, who the real winners and losers are in this competitive market.
