Welcome from the host Port of Rotterdam, Global cold supply chain, reefer trade and perishable logistics during and beyond the pandemic presented by Cool Logistics Global.

While the pandemic has of course dominated the global agenda in 2020 it has equally highlighted issues that have been ‘on the table’ for some years regarding coordination of perishables.

Set against the backdrop of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, speeches and panel debates from industry leaders and new entrants across the global cold supply chain and refrigerated transport operations will explore the ‘next normal’ including the growing role of digital and automation technologies that are now tipped to be key for  tackling some of the industry’s biggest challenges.

What do perishables shippers large and small need to know about shipping, storage and handling at origin and destination to make smart supply chain decisions?

Join Moderator, Rachael White, Managing Director at Cool Logistics Resources and panellists, Ole Schack Petersen, COO at LCL, Thomas Eskesen, Founder Eskesen Advisory, Emile Hoogsteden, Vice President Commercial at Port of Rotterdam, Netherlands, Frank Ganse, Senior VP Global Head Seafreight Reefer Logistics at Kuehne + Nagel and Philip Gray, Head of Reefer Shipping Research at Drewry Shipping, for this stimulating podcast episode.
