Are you watching the discussion on "Peak Trade", the intersection of the expansion of vessel capacity, economic forces, and events like the opening of the new Panama Canal? Our friends at MarineTraffiic.com have a fascinating vessel density map that shows vessel tracks for more than 145.000 vessels. My own guess is that this is not "Peak Trade". What's yours?
The innovation in our logistics and supply chain will continue to evolve and even as vessel capacities continue to change, so will the variety and types of vessels grow. This is one of the many impacts SNAME members have on our world.
