COVID-19 is probably the world’s most disliked word currently due to the rampant economic disruption it has wreaked on the world. All countries and almost all businesses around the world have been affected by this pandemic.
The supply chain industry has also been affected severely. There has been a massive drop in cargo volumes, congestion both on land and at sea, job losses etc, although ironically this is one of the industries that has and is helping to fight this pandemic by ensuring the movement of essential goods like medical supplies, food and PPE.
At the end of March 2020, we set up a short survey sponsored by Ocean Insights. This survey was answered by over 300 Shipping and Freight Professionals across the world. The collected data was analysed to measure three key aspects – Impact, Preparedness, and Recovery.
If you missed out on the survey and the results, here is a quick refresher on what the survey revealed and how deep the impact was.
12,000 clicks of that survey and the analysis and a 95% engagement rate told us that in times of strife, people want to come together, understand what is going on and help each other out of this situation.
So, we got together a team of executives to discuss the future of global supply chains moderated by an equally celebrated and astute industry journalist.
