On this episode of Great Quarter, Guys, Andrew Cox tries to bring clarity to some of the biggest problems still hindering ocean shipping. 

Cox brings on FreightWaves Lead Economist Anthony Smith as co-host, and they welcome FreightWaves Maritime Expert Henry Byers. Together the three break down everything from Yantian and the virus outbreak to the impact of inflationary pressures on high maritime rates.
