Seafood companies should aim to shorten and diversify supply chains as much as possible amid the global container shipping crisis and as the world emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic.
That's the view of Knut Eriksmoen, CEO at Germany-based global supply chain and logistics experts DB Schenker, speaking at the North Atlantic Seafood Forum in Bergen, Norway this week.
"The reliance on countries or companies is maybe too big," Eriksmoen said.
Seafood companies, like businesses in many other industries, have suffered from runaway shipping rates and lengthy delays at ports linked to the global container shipping crisis that began with the onset of the pandemic in early 2020.
