  Market Outlook: Supply Chains in Continued Turmoil

  Whilst governments are lifting the COVID-19 restrictions that have held the world in a firm grip for two years, a war is raging in Europe, plunging the global economy in a continued state of crisis amidst geopolitical tensions. With energy prices going through the roof and food shortage becoming a genuine threat for several parts of the world, recovery of markets seems more distant than ever. Using Drewry’s unique insights in the world’s maritime markets, Dinesh Sharma will present the current landscape and outlook for ports.

  Resilience of Ports and Maritime Supply Chains: The US Regulator’s Perspective

  If there is anyone in Washington, D.C., who has a long view of U.S. shipping law and regulation, it’s Carl Bentzel. While working as a senior Senate committee staffer, Commissioner Bentzel played a key role crafting the Maritime Security Act of 1996, the Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 1998, and, after the 9/11 attacks, the requirements mandated for maritime security through the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002. He has seen the trajectory of the U.S. maritime landscape from one dominated by U.S.-flag carriers including Sea-Land and APL to today’s environment where shippers are ascendant and dominating the terms of political debate in ways that will have a lasting impact on the industry. In a historic moment for U.S. shipping law and policymaking, with Congress likely to enact a new Ocean Shipping Reform Act and with new ideas such as data and information seen as a possible solution to improving cargo flow, Commissioner Bentzel will put it into perspective in conversation with JOC Senior Technology Editor Eric Johnson.

  What Cargo Owners Expect From Ports

  Carriers, supply chain solution providers, terminal operators and forwarders are all competing for direct relationships with cargo owners, but what about ports? As importers, exporters and traders seek to solve their supply chain headaches, what do they expect from port authorities? Hear from Lori Fellmer, vice president of logistics and carrier management at the chemical company BassTech International, and chair of the ocean transportation committee of the U.S. National Industrial Transportation League. In this latter capacity Lori Fellmer has been a vocal advocate of the U.S. 2022 Ocean Shipping Reform Act, which is seen as a crucial step toward addressing systemic issues contributing to the unprecedented disruption to the ocean shipping network.

  Port Authorities’ Perspectives on Supply Chain Resilience and Performance

  With the huge impact of the pandemic on supply chains, cargo owners, shipowners, forwarders and supply chain companies now actively select their ports of choice based on their ability to absorb shocks, such as sudden upticks or collapses in volumes, an extreme weather event, or a cyber attack. What should ports do to make themselves more resilient?

  Why Should Port Authorities be Leaders in Maritime City Development?

  Maritime city development is rarely led by port authorities, which is odd given that their hybrid nature makes them the perfect interface between maritime business interests and government. In this session, Kaity Arsoniadis, Senior Policy Advisor at the Shipping Federation of Canada and former Executive Director of the Vancouver International Maritime Centre, will discuss why port authorities should take leadership in promoting their cities as maritime capitals.
