Four Online Films to Announce 2020 British Freight Awards Winners
The Year Video Didn t Kill the (Radio Star) Live Event
UK – The absence this year of the always enjoyable live event which is the annual British International Freight Association (BIFA) Awards was surely missed by many, but the organisation was determined to press ahead in a year when the winners managed to triumph over a hitherto unknown level of adversity.
This logistics business has proved itself to be just about immune to everything, including a pandemic the like of which has not been seen before. The resilience showed through when, despite a year beset by multiple operational difficulties and uncertainties, there were many outstanding entries in the BIFA Freight Service Awards 2020, the very best of which were announced in a series of online video presentations this week.

‘Price rises likely’ due to UK shipping problems
Businesses say a global shipping crisis is causing freight costs to soar and UK consumers may soon see price rises for imported goods.
On top of skyrocketing shipping rates, carriers are adding congestion charges for imports to Felixstowe and Southampton, because of severe delays.
The logistics industry has written to the Department for Transport calling for it to help clear port backlogs.
One freight director said the UK’s ports are currently “broken”.
Global shipping schedules were initially disrupted during the early stages of the pandemic, but recently a surge in demand for imports and a backlog of empty shipping containers are causing bottlenecks at UK ports.
