Week #50 – 2023
Dear Members, This week marks the last newsletter of 2023 for Cross Ocean. We wish you all happy holidays and an excellent end of the year and start of the new year. Our first newsletter of 2024 is scheduled for the third week of January. In just 48 hours from now me and our Chairman Bo we will be in Hong Kong hosting a small regional meeting for members in Asia. In February we will have our big global conference in Dubai, don’t forget to register here, view the agenda here and book your hotel here. If you have an issue booking using the hotel website you are welcome to book using this form. On the topic of shipping lines attempting to encroach on the freight forwarders slice of the market we received a copy of an email from Maersk to a customer of one of our members. You may already know that many shipping lines are doing this but it is eye opening to see it in such a blatant manner. View the email below.
I hope you enjoy this new format for the Cross Ocean newsletter. Please continue to share your project news with me.
All the best, Cody Abram cody.abram@cross-ocean.com
