In this episode of The Loadstar’s News in Brief Podcast, host and news reporter Charlotte Goldstone recaps last week’s supply chain news, including how the revealed US tariff levels have upended the supply chain in their first week.  

Ms Goldstone concludes the episode with a preview of stories that might appear on The Loadstar this week.     

She is joined by The Loadstar’s managing editor, Gavin van Marle, who discusses how tariff uncertainty has scared transpacific shippers during contracting and gives the latest ocean freight rates.   

Then, The Loadstar publisher Alex Lennane delves into what rising fees did to charter demand and how CMA CGM's promised investment into the US is at stake. She also updates listeners on the latest in the de minimis timeline. 

And while tariffs shrouded most of the news last week, The Loadstar journalists also unpack many other stories that might have flown under the radar.
