Take a deep dive Into the chartering world of the container shipping market and find out how Agnieszka and Hans-Joachim found that smaller and larger-size charterers in the container shipping industry use different collaborative strategies during crisis: the former fix more with external players (cargo owners), while the latter fix with each other.
