While we have heard about disruptions on the ocean and port side from ports and shipping lines during the past two years, individual shippers or the so-called beneficial cargo owners have also experienced never-seen-before disruptions, lack of reliability, and increases in pricing. Consequently, the past two years have forced shippers to become closer with their transportation providers, whether it be with container lines, but increasingly ports that they depend on for routing through their cargo. Lori Fellmer, vice president of logistics and carrier management at BassTech International, a New Jersey-based chemical supplier company, was therefore invited to share her experiences with ports at the World Ports Conference (WPC) in May. Lori then continued the conversation in an exclusive interview with P&H and its managing director Patrick Verhoeven. Listing a range of topics that shippers care about, Lori came up with four points - go-to for exception handling, alignment. predictability, and speed - spelling out the word gaps, in line with the #Closethegaps theme of the IAPH conference. |
