With increasing worldwide trade and globalization, ever more goods are shipped from between continents and countries. The economic partnership agreement between Japan and the EU is further increasing the movement of freight, including for difficult to handle goods such as agricultural produce.
But how do these goods move half way around the world? How do machine tools travel from Germany to Japan, or semiconductors and game consoles from Japan to Germany? And what happens, if, like in 2020, the global movement of freight suddenly stops? The fact that routes and modes of transportation all had to be reconsidered posed great challenges to global logistics. To this day, global supply chains have only partly recovered. This is felt by businesses and private consumers alike. How did the logistics sector cope with this unprecedented challenge? What was done to support customers during this very difficult time? How did cost and revenue calculations have to change?
