Maritime attorney Carrol Hand was interviewed for an Institute for Supply Management (ISM) article about the potential impacts of the East and Gulf Coast dockworkers strike on supply chains and the economy. The article discussed the wide-ranging implications of the strike, including possible shortages, increased shipping costs and potential inflation. Ms. Hand emphasized the importance of understanding detention and demurrage policies during this industry disruption.
