DSV: ocean shipping disruption is not driving a broad shift to airfreight
DSV's global airfreight head Achim Martinka said most shippers are staying with ocean freight because emergency airlift costs remain too high.
Speaking at TIACA's Air Cargo Forum in Miami last week, DSV's head of global airfreight Achim Martinka said disruption to ocean shipping is not causing a large-scale switch to airfreight. According to him, most customers continue to use ocean freight.
Martinka said such decisions depend on whether the business impact of a delay justifies paying the airfreight premium. The cost of emergency airlift remains a factor keeping shippers from changing transport mode.
