Head of Drewry Supply Chain Advisors, Philip Damas looks at the ramp-up in the application of the European Trading Scheme (ETS) at a time when associated charges for shippers and forwarders are amplified by longer voyages resulting from Red Sea diversions.
Drewry believes now is the time for shippers to consider implementing a standard ETS policy for greater transparency and to help control these costs.
