It's been about a month since London International Shipping Week ended, and I still catch myself thinking about it, not the panels or receptions, but what the week revealed about how fragmented the supply chain industry really is.

After twenty years in trucking and brokerage, I thought I understood logistics. I've spent enough time in warehouses, dispatch offices, and meeting rooms to know what makes the system tick and what makes it break. But stepping into the maritime world reminded me that we aren't one industry. We're a collection of silos, each fighting similar battles without realizing how much overlap there really is.
