On March 23rd 2021 the Ever Given, one of the world’s largest container ships got stuck in the Suez canal, completely blocking a major East - West trade route. For the next six days, with ships continuing to back up, Himani Rawat, the Logistics Process Owner for Kuehne+Nagel Integrated Logistics in India and her team worked around the clock to ensure that the life-saving medicines of one of their global pharmaceutical customers still got to where they needed to on time. We talked to her about the experience.
