In this audio from a Jan. 25, 2024 livestream, editors discuss how well shipping and logistics companies did in keeping factories stocked in the past year and what's coming for 2024. The main points: things definitely got better compared to 2022, but significant challenges remain. Major disruptions came from Panama having to limit canal access because of shortages of fresh water, and more recently, Houthi rebels attacking ships in the Red Sea.
Speakers were:
- Adrienne Selko, senior editor at Material Handling & Logistics
- Anna Smith, news editor at IndustryWeek
- Kevin Jones, editorial director of the commercial vehicle and a infrastructure group which includes brands such as FleetOwner and Bulk Transporter
- Tyler Fussner, managing editor of Supply Chain Connect and director of the Market Moves Supply Chain newsletter that draws logistics and supply chain material from all of Endeavor’s publications
