DAY 1 – MONDAY, MARCH 30, 2020

PRIVATE EQUITY, RESTRUCTURING, M&A, INDUSTRY CONSOLIDATION

 Regulatory, technological and market forces have a transformational impact on the shipping industry. Regulation is increasing, charterers and stakeholders in general are more demanding, and there is a need for higher capital investment.  Does this lead to restructuring, M&A and industry consolidation? Is there a PREXIT with Private Equity exiting shipping or are we seeing new entrants into selective projects? Can private equity accelerate the industry’s transformation?
