CBAM a ICS2: Logistics news for the end of the summer holidays
The holidays and the silly season are slowly coming to an end. We will bid them farewell with news from the world of logistics. This time, we will not be writing about tariffs, even though an agreement has been reached between the EU and the US, which is good news, because uncertainty is the worst thing for business. Nor will we speculate on whether ships will return to Suez. Whenever it seems that things are about to change, the situation in the Middle East takes a turn for the worse, and nothing could be further from a return to the old logistics waters. We will not write about the continuing bleak situation in European ports either, as we would be repeating ourselves and the situation has not changed since the last newsletter.

Whether it is storage at the port or container delays.
