Here we are in February 2022, and we're still leading many of our global feature stories with terms like "port congestion," "lack of containers," "widespread labor shortages," "hyper-tight capacity," and "skyrocketing rates." These barriers have all culminated into the "global supply chain disruption" that we've all heard much about. This month we offer our Annual Global Logistics issue designed to help readers better manage through this whirlpool that's pulled so much productivity out of our operations. The goal is to better understand where we are in terms of global services and technology and help shippers control what they can control while moving freight during this period. Starting on page 18, LM's European correspondent Dagmar Trepins takes us around the globe to give us a peek at the current realities at some of the world's busiest ports; shares the latest ocean cargo volumes and projections; offers an update on some global services expansions; and tips us off to the possibility of a new, mega-services group taking shape in China. |
