- Is schedule reliability improving? Who should take responsibility for poor reliability?
- Where is the liner industry heading? Are survival measures here to stay or is the industry set to improve?
- Should the industry be more confident with supply chain dependability in emerging markets?
- Should terminal operating companies be doing more to improve hinterland connectivity?
- Is more carrier consolidation likely? Where are the opportunities within the industry?
- When will shipping be made as simple as booking an airline ticket on the internet?
