In the latest episode of "The Freight Caviar Podcast", we sit down with Desmond Clark, President of Bear Down Logistics. He shares insights on maximizing productivity, and the importance of quality over quantity.
The Port of Rotterdam was the scene of a record drug bust as Dutch customs seized eight tons of cocaine from a Maersk containership.
Estimated Worth: €600m ($653m).
Shipment Origin: Ecuador, routed via Panama.
Disguise: Hidden among 12 pallets of bananas.
To put it into perspective, this bust is nearly twice the size of the 4.6 tons found in 2005. Still, globally, it trails behind a 20-tonne cocaine seizure at Philadelphia's port in 2019.
