The autumn issue has much content to interest industry stakeholders and keen observers of Canada’s maritime/logistics sector. Our annual issue on North Atlantic trends underlines how a relatively stable world trade lane has gravitated towards the “new normal” of volatile rates and major shipping service changes witnessed on other global routes.

More in an optimistic vein is the big feature on project cargo and breakbulk developments from coast to coast, where notably the Atlantic provinces have suddenly markedly increased their efforts to capitalize on growing opportunities in onshore and offshore energy.

Finally, there is a comprehensive report on September’s annual conference of the Association of Canadian Ports Authorities (ACPA) which paid considerable attention to industry/government response to the supply chain challenges across the country.
