Advocacy remains the most important item that we deliver, and this fall issue of the Forwarder magazine, dedicated to the topic of Advocacy, aims to display for the membership more of what makes CIFFA your Trusted Advisor.

In this issue we cover ongoing efforts CIFFA has made over the past few very busy years on the advocacy front, as well as recent updates and efforts on key policy initiatives and contributions. Your association is very active and engaged, and fortunate to work with such a great team of internal and external stakeholders towards recognition of our industry and fluidity in the overall supply chain.

Welcome to the 2023 spring edition of the Forwarder Magazine. When considering themes for this issue, it felt timely and appropriate to do an update on the economic climate and trade environment that we find ourselves in.

As such, this issue is dedicated to updates on the economic front; series of updates from experts in marine shipping, economics, labour and trade from the Transpacific Maritime Conference; a summary from the FIATA HQ meetings this March in Geneva; an update from CIFFA’s seven national committees and ongoing goals for the year; read on for full details.
