#IAPH2022: hear what cargo owners expect from ports

Carriers, supply chain solution providers, terminal operators and forwarders are all competing for direct relationships with cargo owners, but what about ports? As importers, exporters and traders seek to solve their supply chain headaches, what do they expect from port authorities? At the 2022 World Ports Conference, you’ll hear from Lori Fellmer, vice president of logistics and carrier management at the chemical company BassTech International, and chair of the ocean transportation committee of the U.S. National Industrial Transportation League. In this latter capacity Lori has been a vocal advocate of the U.S. 2022 Ocean Shipping Reform Act, which is seen as a crucial step toward addressing systemic issues contributing to the unprecedented disruption to the ocean shipping network. Lori will be interviewed by Peter Tirschwell, vice-president maritime, trade and supply chain at S&P global. The session follows the interview JOC senior technology editor Eric Johnson will have with FMC Commissioner Carl Bentzel, who is the principal architect of the Ocean Shipping Reform Act. Carl also launched the initiative to bring supply chain stakeholders together to identify data constraints that impede the flow of ocean cargo adding to supply chain inefficiencies in the USA, working towards a national freight data portal. Lori Fellmer and Carl Bentzel complete the impressive list of 60+ speakers that awaits you in Vancouver. With over 350 delegates registered to date, we have already exceeded our expectations, but there is room for more! Check out the full conference agenda here and book your seats today.
