Exporters often encounter costly pitfalls in container shipping. Learn common mistakes like improper loading, documentation errors, and inadequate planning to.
Anneke is a trade journalist who has spent the past twelve years covering ocean freight, port operations and the chartering market from Rotterdam. She started on the desk at a Dutch logistics weekly, did a stint covering bunker markets and IMO regulation, and now writes the kind of straight-talking shipping copy that chartering managers and port officials actually read on a Monday morning. The reporting here is sourced from shipping lines, terminal operators, ship managers, broker desks and the regulators who set the rules everyone else has to live with. No press-release journalism, no rankings of the world's most reliable carriers, no breathless coverage of the next mega-vessel order. Just the trade-press work that the industry has always relied on and that a smaller number of outlets continue to do properly.
