Breaking the bottlenecks
On 30 October 2025, professionals from across the shipping, logistics, and supply chain world came together for a day filled with sharp insights, expert panels, and valuable networking opportunities. Together, we explored how the industry can overcome key bottlenecks and keep global trade moving forward.
The container shipping industry is under pressure.
Geopolitical tensions, changing trade rules, and delays at key routes like the Suez and Panama Canals are disrupting global supply chains. At the same time, shipping companies face unstable schedules and unpredictable freight rates.
At Containertrends 2025, we took a close look at what’s driving these changes and how the industry is responding to ongoing disruption.
The challenges don’t stop at sea.
European ports are more congested than ever, due to changing shipping alliances, strikes, extreme weather, and ongoing supply chain problems. Inland vessels face long delays, and truck drivers often sit in traffic just to move containers.
Digital solutions could make logistics run smoother—but progress is slow, often because companies are hesitant to share important data.
At this event, top industry leaders come together for an honest talk about resilience, day-to-day challenges, digital innovation, and the future of container logistics. One thing is certain: doing nothing is not an option.
