In the latest video, André speaks to Ho Ghim Siew, Head Group Strategy and Cargo Solutions at PSA International: a leading port group and trusted partner to cargo stakeholders with flagship operations in Singapore and Antwerp.They sat down at PSA’s Singapore headquarters to discuss how digital innovation and better data-sharing in supply chains could be the answer to many of today’s supply chain pain points.

Over the last two years, we’ve seen a lot of supply chain disruptions and one-off incidents like the Suez Canal and other “Black Swan” events… But I believe that these pain points could be overcome with digitalisation and data, and we find that sharing data is probably the foundational piece. ”

We understand how difficult the current situation is for both the ports and carriers. If the ports are congested, our vessels cannot berth. If our vessels cannot berth, cargo is not discharged. In the end, it’s the customer and consumer who are unhappy. But digitalisation can solve these pain points. ”
