Shipping does like to talk.

And this week we have talked our way through sanctions, geo-political risk, diversity, digitalisation and of course the big green elephant in the room at every event — decarbonisation.

So as London International Shipping Week puts the champagne flutes in the dishwasher and sweeps up the last crumbs of canapes from the floor, the Lloyd’s List team have gathered around the podcast microphone for a short reflection on what we have learnt this week.

Lloyd's List’s LISW podcasts are sponsored by DNV. Click here to view 2023 DNV/Lloyd’s List Intelligence Maritime Safety Trends report.
