Game Changers in the Logistics Industry; What happens next in DC; MIT Logistics Collaboration Case Study

 

The government of Jamaica haveannounced an interesting project to turn Jamaica into a big transhipment hub, taking advantage of its proximity to the Panama Canal and obviously both the North America and Latin American markets, as they admit themselves they are a bit slow on the uptake, but it will be interesting to see how and if this truly develops.

 

I would like to also draw your attention to a really interestingWebinar on Feb 15th featuring Mike Stark the CEO of Pacer Distribution and John Ferguson the CEO of SCI - they will be sharing first-hand insight on some of the major changes set to affect the logistics industry in the form of threats, opportunities and game changers - there will also be the opportunity for you to put your questions directly to Mike and John.
