In this episode, Sal Mercogliano — a maritime historian at Campbell University (@campbelledu) and former merchant mariner — discusses the situation facing containers with the decrease in numbers to the US, but global totals increasing. We also examine the rising freight rates, Chinese ships still facing US port fees, the continuation of the Red Sea and China's dominance in containership construction.
