NAVIGATING THROUGH INDUSTRY TRANSFORMATION
Green Shipping – Technology – Fleet Renewal – Implications for Shipping Companies and Investors
The pandemic has accelerated the pace and extent of transformation the shipping industry is going through. Shipping companies are called to make critical decisions to ensure their viability and competitiveness.

This topic covers Green Shipping, Technology, Sustainability and more and can provide for a discussion on the hot, practical and immediate challenges the industry is facing today, issues that every owner small or big has to face and address. This panel will enable you to discuss corporate strategy beyond sector trends, touching upon all major industry topics, as highlighted above.
