Similarly, on the air cargo side, The Loadstar publisher Alex Lennane examines how airlines are rearranging networks to deal with a nosedive in demand.

They also offer the latest ocean and air freight rates, respectively.

Finally, Ms Goldstone gives a preview of stories that might appear on The Loadstar this week.
