28 September, 2026 – On 23 September, Martaxelle Erussard, Commercial Director at MasOceans, joined Akim Kibalnik, Andrew Glass and Stefan Reidy as a panellist at GTR Commodities 2026 in Geneva for:
From reactive to proactive: A shipping and supply chain checklist for resilient trade journeys
Moderated by Pierre Ligneul-de Villeneuve, the discussion left several key takeaways.
Key takeaways from the discussion:
- Optionality is the new trade superpower. Efficiency alone won’t save you anymore.
- From Just-in-Time to Just-in-Case. Inventory closer to market is your insurance policy.
- Ecosystems, not chains. Build alternatives into contracts, carriers and routes before disruption hits.
- Finance the delay before it happens. A 20-day transit delay is a working capital event.
- AI precision + human trust. Technology spots the blind spots; strong relationships on the ground deliver resilience.
As Martaxelle Erussard summed it up after the panel: “Waiting to react is expensive. Building resilience is how we win.”
MasOceans would like to thank Global Trade Review (GTR) and Jack Longman for inviting Martaxelle to take part in the panel, and Akim Kibalnik, Andrew Glass, Stefan Reidy and Pierre Ligneul-de Villeneuve for the discussion.
