In December 2007, Michael joined BIMCO because he relished the challenge and opportunity of working in an international shipping environment.
If we had a crystal ball, it would be needed for this session! Our panellists will be discussing the continuing challenges they are facing across the supply chain and what the outlook is over the coming months and further into the future. They will delve deeper into rates, capacity, congestion, geopolitical events and how ‘normal’ will look for the industry in the short and longer term. In addition to this, our panel will discuss how fuel is impacting the market and challenges around contracting across the board. It is certainly a session not to be missed!
