Your smartphone: an extraordinary journey

Most of us take global trade for granted. Go behind the scenes to discover the businesses, contracts and people that move goods, like your smartphone, across our oceans, safely and sustainably every day of the year.
Explore the world from a container ship and learn about the strategic planning, robust regulations and specialist businesses that make sure your smartphone, like millions of other everyday goods, arrives safely in your hands.
