πŸ”₯ Greetings, Maritime Mavericks!

Most people still think container shipping is about freight rates.

It isn’t anymore.

Today, shipping is about who controls capacity when geopolitics breaks trade apart.

Right now, a single individual controls more container capacity than any alliance, regulator, or policy framework ever could.

He rarely speaks.

He avoids headlines.

Yet his decisions quietly decide which trade lanes survive β€” and which don’t.

This is not a company story yet.

It’s a power story.

And it only makes sense once you see what most of the industry still refuses to say out loud.

Most carriers are still planning for the last cycle.

One already planned for the next one.
