As the container shipping industry moves toward full-fleet digitalization, investments in smart container technology have surged — bringing real-time visibility, predictive insights, and new operational possibilities. Yet a fundamental challenge remains: how can these innovations translate into tangible, monetizable value?

In this webcast, Erik Christian Lund (EVP Maritime & Logistics, Nexxiot), Thomas Bagge (CEO, Digital Container Shipping Association), and Lars Jensen (CEO, Vespucci Maritime) explore the evolving economics of container IoT and the strategic shifts reshaping how visibility is deployed and monetized across the supply chain.

Drawing on insights on ongoing roll-outs and industry movements, this expert panel will address:

• The internal ROI case for smart containers: operational efficiencies, fleet optimization, and predictive repositioning

• The role of standardization in enabling interoperability and scale across global fleets

• Whether smart containers can finally break open the elusive value-added logistics market

• What adoption at scale looks like and how new predictive capabilities could reshape decision-making

• The broader strategic implications: can smart containers unlock new competitive advantages in an increasingly data-driven industry?

This session offers a candid discussion between industry leaders shaping the future of visibility, connectivity, and value creation in maritime logistics.

Changing tariff levels are giving top US importers and exporters, along with their smaller peers, figurative whiplash. Some shippers are under more pressure than others when it comes to the 90-day pause on higher imports for goods from other than the European Union (July 8) and China (Aug. 12). Beyond the pressures of getting goods into or out of a sourcing point, tariff changes and regulatory requirements are quickly changing and sometimes murky.

This 60-minute webcast will highlight the major findings from the Journal of Commerce’s Top 100 shipper rankings and special issue, a brief peak-season summary, and an update on customs issues, including uncertainty around shipment cut-off dates and how they apply to specific industries.
