Maritime Conference

Decarbonisation and geo-political risks: radical changes and the impact on the global maritime sector

Paris | May 23, 2024

The global maritime sector has faced an unprecedented pace of change over recent years, both from expected measures, such as the transition to net zero, as well as from unexpected developments, such as war affecting the Red and Black Seas, drought affecting the Panama Canal and a fraying of the international consensus. These, along with the importance of ESG, are changing how business is done and will affect the shape of the global fleet in the future. Those involved in shipping will need to be adaptable and forward looking.

We are delighted to invite you to our half day maritime conference, where we will explore some of the fundamental issues facing the sector and consider ways to navigate these going forward.
