The National Shipper Advisory Committee, led by Ikea Group’s Debb Minskey, is gathering feedback from truckers and maritime terminals to identify challenges within ports. The committee aims to enhance container throughput by addressing early return dates, empty container returns, and container availability. A task group from the Port Best Practices Subcommittee is focused on improving terminal processes and performance. While a clear timeline for progress is not yet established, the committee plans to hold regular meetings to facilitate ongoing feedback and collaboration.
