U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg announced a new digital tool to help ports communicate with shipping companies.
"It’ll be a digital tool to get the information flowing. Its voluntary, the more you put in, the more you get out. We hope that more businesses will decide to become a part of this initiative because we think it will make for a more efficient supply chain for everybody," he said.
"Most people watching this interview are not going to personally use this digital tool that shipping companies and ports are going to use to talk to each other. The way you’re going to notice a difference is that shipping times are going to be a little bit shorter and it is going to be one less factor pushing prices up on the shelf. Remember, whenever there is a bottleneck or something inefficient, that could mean higher prices," he said.
