The long awaited in-person return of TOC Americas became a reality on October 18th in Lima, Peru, with a complete two track program consisting of the Container Supply Chain conference and TECH TOC, which offer attendants the possibility to learn about the evolution of the maritime, port, and logistics sector straight from the most stand-out analysts and industry actors.

The dynamics of the logistics sector are influencing the trends driving the modernization and expansion of maritime & logistics infrastructure.

On a global scale, about 80% of goods are transported by sea due to its cost efficiency compared to that of land or air transport. The covid-related unprecedented disruption that we have witnessed, however, is forcing shipping lines and cargo owners to look for other alternatives that allow them to meet delivery times.

The return of in-person events has marked the industry agenda during this year, and TOC Americas is no exception. Lima, Peru, will host the 22^nd version of the leading maritime logistics conference in the Latin American region, which returns to the Peruvian capital after its successful debut in 2017, this time with a reloaded conference program and an upgraded experience. 

Since the outbreak of the pandemic in early 2020, we have witnessed unprecedented disruption across the supply chain.
Whether caused by factories being paralyzed due to lockdowns, the quarantine of seafarers arriving to shore, or the exponential growth of E-commerce, the reality of covid has certainly put strong pressure on the maritime & logistics sector worldwide.
