Podcast interview: The 'collapse' of the global supply chains and logistics. 'On the ground' insights from China. Decoupling or recoupling?

In this podcast [min 27], Insightview has interviewed Steffen Schiottz-Christensen, Managing Director, China-Hong Kong, at Nordic Transport Group A/S - a company listed on Nasdaq Nordic. Steffen Schiottz-Christensen is a long-term China resident and past CEO/VP of Maersk, SHV Energy and IFU in China.

Steffen shares his knowledge and insights from Shanghai about the "collapse" in the global supply chains and logistics. The editor asks Steffen when these supply chain problems will disappear - if at all. The editor asks Steffen what is the solution to the problem and whether the container shipping lines have an interest in solving the “problem”?

Interestingly, Steffen believes that Europe and the United States need to get used to higher, "new norm" container freight rates "out of China" at a significantly higher level than before the pandemic. We also touch on the energy "crisis" in China and whether "recoupling" could replace "decoupling".
