“Chinese New Year is earlier this year, and everyone is looking to really understand whether or not there’s going to be a rush on cargo in advance. The news so far is that volumes continue to be at low levels.”

Tune into our first episode of 2023 as we’re giving a January Ocean Update with Marina Lennie and Richard Fattal.

This month, we’re covering insights on:

  • How an early Chinese New Year has affected shippers
  • What we’re seeing in the rate market
  • Whether the changes in China’s zero-Covid policy will affect supply chains
