Who Should Attend?
This event is designed for BCO professionals who manage maritime container shipping at scale.
It is for those who are responsible for:
- Dealing with operational issues like blank sailings, unexpected transshipments, or demurrage and detention charges
- Collaborating with ocean shipping partners, shipping lines, or forwarders
- Managing containers from origin to destination and need full visibility across the container's lifecycle, from transport planning to delivery
Key topics discussed during the event (but not limited to)
- IMO23 what’s in it for shippers
IMO23 will impact Shipping Lines because it dictates which vessels are compliant and which would be restricted from sailing. What is the impact for shippers on capacity per Shipping Line and as a result on price and container availability? We will see a projection of compliance rate for Shipping Lines and some trade lanes, and discuss what could be the impact on shippers’ operations.
This will include insight from Searoutes on CO2 emissions calculation.
- The shipper/carrier relationship
We have seen a drop in ocean freight rates over the last quarters. And a rush toward spot rates. Will the trend remain and for how long? We will also deal with the evolution of the shipper/shipping line relationship and how to manage it in the current situation.
This will include a market update from Xeneta and insights on procurement strategies from Shipsta.
- Between BCOs with YARA
The Norwegian chemical company and major shipper will tell us how they manage their Digital Transformation in container shipping, and what are their challenges, objectives, achievements, and next steps.
- Techno watch
Emerging digital technologies: Both BCO’s present and Buyco team are constantly watching technology trends in the supply chain and international transportation space. This session is a great opportunity to share feedback on interesting or game-changing emerging trends and solutions. This shared techno watch will provide an evaluation of the buzz or not-so-buzz solutions available based on field experience.
This will include insights from Shipsta on freight procurement technologies.
- The role of digital in workforce attraction and retention
We will discuss how technology can help non-experts become proficient in shipping and how the adoption of efficient digital tools impacts staff attraction and retention.
