On Thursday, April 17, 2008, BDP sponsored a roundtable discussion which brought together industry leaders to explore the ocean transport supply /demand gap which U.S. exporters are experiencing.

This frank exchange of trends and approaches included industry veterans of the carrier, third party logistics, nvocc and shipper community. Presented in streaming video webcast format, the public forum covered current and projected conditions for ports, equipment and vessel capacity, near term action to address the situation and long term strategies.
