  • Are ocean carriers and their service providers better prepared for economic crisis?

  • 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?
