The global supply chain and logistics industries have had a tumultuous two years as it faced immense challenges in the forms of unbalanced supply and demand, equipment and staff shortages, port congestion and closures, high freight costs, component shortages, fluctuations in fuel prices as well as ongoing geopolitical instability.
These unprecedented disruptions have adversely affected business competitiveness and exposed the vulnerability of our current supply chains, leaving many companies feeling battered with regard to reliability, pushing them to do some introspection and re-evaluate their logistics strategies.
Currently, the global ports are slowly recovering and freight rates are steadily declining. At the same time China has, after 3 years of strict Covid-19 policies, starting from Jan 8th, 2023, fully opened their borders again, with no quarantine or control measures for imported cargo. Even with these past months' improvements though there are still plenty of apprehension and uncertainties.
With the surge in threats and disruptions in the global supply chain these past few years, what lies ahead in the coming year? The Swedish Chamber of Commerce in China and APC Logistics gladly invite you to join this webinar to explore and discuss notable logistics trends within air, ocean and rail to consider. And in this webinar, the following questions will be addressed:
- What is the forecast outlook of the market for 2023?
- What challenges and opportunities might we expect?
- What does one have to consider when deciding their logistics strategy?
- What are the major industry drivers?
This event is also co-hosted by the Swedish Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong.
Speakers:
Jesper Frank, Head of Air Freight Sweden, APC Logistics
Stefan Sjöblom, Head of Ocean Freight Sweden, APC Logistics
Keith Chong, Managing Director Hong Kong & Greater China, APC Logistics
