In light of the unpredictable nature of the global supply chain, which presents numerous risks and challenges, a significant and indispensable factor for the survival of companies - not only transport operators, but also shipping lines, customers, and related firms - is to undergo comprehensive restructuring and gain a thorough understanding of logistics trends.
