Why are ocean rates skyrocketing around the world, despite plenty of possible diversions from the Suez Canal? According to Flexport CEO Ryan Petersen, the answer is relatively simple: it’s all about supply and demand. “Some ships that would normally go across the Pacific are being routed to support the extra capacity needed for the longer journey around Africa,” Ryan told Marketplace by APM. “That actually reduces the supply of shipping, effectively.” Listen to the episode here: https://flx.to/mp
