The Flanders-China Chamber of Commerce is organizing a webinar focusing on “Navigating turbulent times in the freight industry”, which will take place on 27 January 2023 at 10h00 am CET.
The disruptive events causing record-high ocean shipping rates are swinging back: After the disruption, what is happening in the shipping market, and what can we expect further in the coming year? How low are the expected container rates going to go? What can you do as a shipper to benefit from the decreasing prices? And is the 'pricing' crisis finally over?
Our first speaker, Mr Didier Duponselle, Business Unit Director Warehousing and On-site Logistics, Ahlers, will address these questions during his presentation.
Our second speaker Mr Arno Coster, Commercial Director, Trade Facilitation, Ahlers, will discuss new customer patterns, new ways for companies to meet the customer's needs, and new ways to execute the 'vision for the growth of revenue streams' in complex markets. Moreover, he will explain how business processing can be outsourced with the Ahlers Master Trade model for companies to operate successfully in complex markets.
Our third speaker, Mr Philippe Beaujean, Shippers & Forwarders Manager, Port of Antwerp-Bruges, will introduce how a world port like Port of Antwerp-Bruges tries to build a resilient port to answer to the needs of the maritime supply chain.
