This week we managed to hunt down Donald Davis and Bryan Most and have them drill into what has been going on in the world of #ocean contracts.

Historically, we've seen contracts signed in #Q1 of any given year, but with all the disruptions that have been happening, Carriers and Shippers are now filling capacity far into 2022 and 2023. In fact, from what we’ve seen, the remaining capacity for the next 12-36 months is much, much lower than anyone expected.

In this episode, Bryan offers some expertise on how Shippers can deal with #capacity shortages while Don delivers a perspective on Carrier relationships that can help everyone better manage their supply chain.

They also cover:

✔️ Spot-market price fluctuations
✔️ NVO strategies and how to diversify your supply chain
✔️ Emissions Regulations and Labor in 2022
✔️ What restocking inventory could mean for 2022 and 2023

…and plenty of other questions you might have about the market!
