IBIA: Follow-up Global Overview Panels 7-9

The final 3 global sessions of the third day of the IBIA Annual Convention 2020 panels brought us a fantastic range of voices addressing the biggest issues facing the industry.

If you were busy or unable to attend one of these sessions, please find below links for you to watch.

The credit and risk panel had no shortage of material to discuss after this year’s financial troubles for some large players in the bunker industry. Jason Silber of SeaCred led a discussion of what can be done to avoid failures at the larger companies, the changing methods of assessing credit this year and which companies may step in to provide more credit if the banks start to retreat from this sector.

In the digital technologies panel, Martyn Lasek of Ship & Bunker questioned a panel of technologists on how the way we trade bunkers is changing. The group discussed ways of saving money, bringing more transparency to bunker supply and carry out more processes remotely.

And finally, the women in shipping panel covered the gender imbalance in shipping and what can be done to change it. The group took a positive take on the issue, stressing the importance of female role models and networking to help encourage female candidates to take on maritime roles, and Ada Egzi Baser of Dan-Bunkering set out some of the challenges of life at sea from her years as captain of a VLCC.

We look forward to seeing you all tomorrow as you network and engage with our variety of stands in the Exhibitors Hall.

During the panel discussions, you will still have the opportunity to submit questions to the panellists via the Q&A prompt icon in your navigation bar. We will share these questions with the speakers, and once we have received responses, will distribute these to all attendees.
