How will EPCs, other shippers, and transportation providers recalibrate in the near, mid-, and long term? What do plunging oil prices mean for the future of capital energy projects? What impact will COVID-19 related disruption have on tech solutions that can provide better in-transit visibility and supply-side analytics? What, exactly, is the new normal?

The fundamentals of container shipping may be improving, but the industry is hardly out of the woods, as the outlook for demand weakens and carriers grapple with higher operating costs tied to the low-sulfur global mandate. Maritime research firm Alphaliner expects global container capacity to expand 3.3 percent this year while demand will grow 3.1 percent, compared with 2019 increases of 3.6 percent and 2.4 percent, respectively. But questions over whether economic growth will continue or whether a slowdown or even recession will come after 10 years of unabated expansion prompted Drewry Shipping Consultants last fall to downgrade its demand outlook for 2019 to 2.6 percent from 3 percent. Also undetermined is the ultimate outcome of the nearly two-year US-China trade dispute as both sides back off their tariff battle amid recent progress in bilateral negotiations. And, although carriers have met the International Maritime Organization's low-sulfur fuel mandate, their effort to pass on higher operating costs to shippers and forwarders or risk a return to deep losses is hardly certain.

This webcast timed to air in the run-up to TPM20 and the start of the trans-Pacific contract negotiations will analyze what all this means for shippers and their service providers.
