This is hardly surprising, as the advantages are clear due to the high level of economy and security. However, the success of sea freight is also dependent on many factors. At the same time, the industry is currently facing enormous challenges that are leaving their mark worldwide, leading to high transport costs and, unfortunately, also to delays. (more…)
