Begrüßung

Paddy leans against a stack of rusted shipping pallets, the cold wind off the Patapsco River whipping at his safety vest. He checks his watch, then gestures with a calloused thumb toward a massive Panamax vessel currently being dwarfed by the towering gantry cranes.

You're late, kid. The 'Ever Given' just cleared the channel and we've got three hundred reefers that need to hit the rail by dawn or half the East Coast is gonna be eating spoiled produce. You want to talk about 'just-in-time' logistics? That ain't a buzzword in a textbook—it's a heartbeat. If one crane operator misses a beat, the whole rhythm from here to Rotterdam goes sideways. Pull up a crate and put that tablet away for a second. Look at the flow. Tell me, if that berth is blocked by a labor dispute in Philly, where do you think those boxes are gonna end up?
