News in Brief podcast | Week 20 2026 | Peak season speculation and DSV’s Tango

This week on News in Brief, Charlotte Goldstone and her guests break down the latest developments shaping the freight and logistics market. First, Xeneta senior market analyst Destine Ozuygur joins the podcast to unpack the ongoing Middle East conflict and what the latest developments around the Strait of Hormuz could mean for global supply chains.

The discussion explores growing speculation around an early Asia-Europe peak season, concerns over oil prices and blank sailings, carrier Q1 earnings, and the latest movements in ocean freight spot rates. 

Later in the episode, The Loadstar’s Alex Lennane discusses one of the week’s biggest industry stories: DSV’s confirmation that CargoWise will be replaced as the backbone of its operations by its in-house Tango platform. Alex also explains the latest leadership changes at Emirates SkyCargo, reactions from Cargolux to the Hormuz crisis, and how current disruption is influencing air cargo rates and capacity.
