- The five and a half billion dollar added fuel cost burden on the container shipping industry over the past three months and how it compares to total industry EBIT
- Gemini Alliance reliability bouncing back to 85% and a standout 98.5% on Asia-US West Coast
- The UK ETS taking effect July 1st and the loophole it closes for carriers routing through UK ports
