Ocean freight is often treated as the “slow but cheap” option, but that assumption can create costly mistakes in planning, budgeting, inventory strategy, and customer expectations.

In the final installment of our four-part *"Which Transport Method is Right for Me?"* series, host Jessa Morgen sits down with ocean freight expert Raymond Minott for a practical Q\&A conversation about the myths, misconceptions, and overlooked realities shaping modern container shipping.

This session is designed for logistics professionals, importers, exporters, procurement teams, and operations leaders who want to make smarter transportation decisions, not just book shipments.

You’ll learn:

*   Why “cheapest mode” thinking can backfire
*   The hidden operational costs companies overlook when comparing freight options
*   Common assumptions about transit times, reliability, and flexibility that no longer hold true
*   When ocean freight is the smartest strategic choice, and when it absolutely is not
*   How better ocean freight decisions improve forecasting, inventory flow, and customer experience

Attendees will also receive the final installment of our *Which Transport Method Is Right for Me?* decision guide series.
