Shipping is not known for change, but it is known for taking risks. Think about it, since the first time a person sailed over the horizon into the unknown, they were taking a risk. Every time a ship leaves port, it takes a risk. The goal is to maximize the benefit of that risk to create opportunity.
As we approach mid-decade, we can see the enormous change that has engulfed our industry. No longer is the question “When” on change, but “How”? What are the knowns—and the unknowns?
Will legislation outpace technology? Where will the financing come from? How do we rationalize the pressures from the public, the evidence of climate crisis, and commercial interests? How does a global service industry—shipping as a provider of transportation services—pivot to meet these demands?
These are the topics we will be addressing at SHIPPINGInsight 2023. Replete with thought leaders, SMEs, the latest technologies and services it is THE place to consolidate your efforts to ensure you are operating at the highest standards in efficiency and performance.
So dive in!!! Take the risk!!! The water is great!!!
