Session description
James Thatcher, the Import/Export Manager at totes»ISOTONER Corporation, a seasoned logistics expert with a background in supply chain studies. He shared invaluable insights at the Container Shipping Conference 2023. In this blog, we’ll delve into his strategies and experiences, exploring the world of logistics post the events of Fall 2022, and uncovering the innovative approaches that are shaping the future of container shipping and global trade.

James Thatcher, a logistics expert, has insights on the ongoing challenges in the world of shipping and logistics, particularly after the turbulent year of 2022. The logistics industry faced significant hurdles that still affect us today, leaving us to ponder whether these challenges will persist into 2023 and beyond. Another key consideration is whether to choose the West Coast or East Coast of the United States for shipping, each with its advantages and drawbacks. Additionally, James Thatcher sheds light on the complexities of moving goods from ports to inland destinations, a puzzle many in the industry grapple with. This blog delves into these crucial questions, providing valuable insights into the evolving landscape of shipping and logistics post-2022.

Key Topics
  • We make a sustainable ground protection product in Brazil for use in infrastructure construction. Good news: Best product on market. Bad news: Very low value vs. weight ratio
  • Freight moved from $1500 to $13,000 per can. We adapted by using a different value metric. Instead of selling price, we used strength and Total Cost of Ownership.
  • We also kept “in the game” with customers by offering ship load quantities of mats at substantially lower prices than by containers
