Growing ferocity of the international shipping bureaucracy becomes a clear and present danger While the efficacy of the rapidly spreading zero-carbon policy may be questionable scientifically, there is little doubt of dread consequences that will result in the shipping world.
Certainly that can be inferred from London's Lexology in an interview with founding and managing partner, Kwang-Myeong Moon, of Seoul's of Moon & Song law firm, as he surveys the shipping world in the 2020s.

We've come a long way from the days of Mark Twain, who famously said that "history doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes". There has been many a time when people have had cause to repeat the maxim on discovering its truth.

Examples can be found in Rebecca Jeffrey's thoughtful article in London's Air Cargo News. Though she confines herself to the sudden growth of road feeder services in air freight, it doesn't take a great leap of the imagination to extend such musings into other realms of transport.
