Description

As tensions rise in global chokepoints like the Strait of Hormuz, headlines often point to immediate disruption—but supply chains are more complex than that. In this webinar, ASCM CEO Abe Eshkenazi speaks with Dr. Noel Hacegaba, CEO of the Port of Long Beach, to explore what is actually happening at U.S. ports today, what recent cargo and container trends reveal about demand and costs, and how supply chain professionals can separate short‑term volatility from more structural shifts as they plan for the months ahead.
