Flexport experts—Michael Baekboel, Head of CaaS, and Angus Fan, Group Product Manager—in conversation with Commissioner Carl Bentzel of the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC). This webinar will focus on the Maritime Transportation Data Initiative (MTDI), a policy proposal aimed at identifying and mitigating data constraints that hinder the smooth flow of ocean cargo. These constraints can contribute to supply chain inefficiencies within the United States, leading to delays like those experienced by shippers in 2020 and 2021.
