THIS week’s Lloyd’s List Podcast from the Global Liner Shipping Conference in Hamburg, Germany, with our resident container shipping specialist Linton Nightingale chewing the fat with industry guru’s Lars Jensen and Allan Murphy from SeaIntelligence Consulting.

The trio talk on the main points of discussions stemming from the annual conference, where, naturally, the impending sulphur cap and its repercussions dominated proceedings.

Liner service reliability, or indeed lack of it, also draws focus in this week’s podcast edition.

This is in addition to initial thoughts on the launch of the Digital Container Shipping Association, aiming to get to grips with the host of new technologies available to the industry to speed and ease the flow of trade through standardisation.

Mr Jensen and Mr Murphy have some strong opinions on how this collaboration will pan out.
