Commentary: New column highlights box capacity trends

   In this issue, American Shipper has introduced a new monthly column highlighting trends and developments in global liner carrier capacity.
   Titled “Container Analytics,” the column will be written by Ben Meyer, research analyst for American Shipper’s sister company BlueWater Reporting. Meyer joined BWR in 2010, and in 2012 became research team manager. Last year, he began working exclusively on custom research and analytical reports, focusing mainly on the liner industry.
   Based in Jacksonville, Fla., BWR provides expertise, research and business intelligence into all aspects of global liner shipping. In addition to providing 28 analytical reports, it conducts custom research, advisory and consulting services for companies looking to gain a deeper understanding of the logistics and transportation issues, trends and challenges impacting their business.

This commentary was published in the November 2014 issue of American Shipper.
