Credits: Created, Produced and Hosted by Mike King

As the holiday season closes in, Episode 7 of The Loadstar Podcast looks at what one of our guests believes will be the “the mother of all peak seasons”.

We also examine:

  • What next for air and ocean freight rates?
  • What options are still available to shippers looking to restock inventories before the holiday season finishes?
  • Why freight rates from South Asia have risen 50% in the last 2-3 weeks?
  • Is there any chance that Chinese New Year 2022 will bring order to ocean shipping, or are we already turning to 2023 for some respite?
  • What are the real economics of retailers chartering their own vessels?
  • With bellyhold capacity in short supply, who is investing in freighter aircraft?
  • And why is it only in the UK that a lack of truck drivers is causing acute shortages of everything, including fuel?
