António Nabo Martins, executive president of the Portuguese Freight Forwarders Association, spoke about the changes in freight contracts since the pandemic. According to him, contracts are now concluded on a weekly basis and include safeguards for practically everything, a significant change from previous practice.
The official explained that, before the pandemic, freight prices were considered more or less stable. However, currently, according to Nabo Martins, "everything serves" as justification for price increases in the transportation and logistics sector.
The interview addresses the consequences of the pandemic on the freight forwarding sector in Portugal, highlighting the volatility and uncertainty that have come to characterize the international freight market.
