Port congestion is putting pressure on global supply chains from West Africa and Europe to the Middle East, while escalating conflict is creating fresh challenges for air cargo. In this episode, Drewry’s head of Ports and Terminals, Eirik Hooper, joins us to discuss the causes of congestion, whether major investments in African ports will deliver meaningful improvements, and how automation could help terminals boost efficiency.

We also examine the growing cyber threat facing shipping and port operators. Plus, Loadstar publisher Alex Lennane joins us to unpack the impact of the US-Iran war on air cargo capacity in Saudi Arabia, the squeeze on airfreight capacity as peak season approaches, and Samsung SDS’s move to strengthen its airfreight business through the acquisition of Woojung Air.

And what’s making headlines on The Loadstar Premium? We take a look at Kuehne+Nagel’s growth ambitions, the world’s leading freight forwarders, and the ransomware threats targeting the logistics sector.
