EACH year, Lloyd’s List likes to gather a group of industry leaders, lock them in a room and not let them leave until they have divined the fate and fortunes of the shipping industry for the year to come.

And that’s what we did earlier this month in London at the annual Lloyd’s List Outlook Forum, sponsored by Lloyd’s Register. 

Having gathered a baseline of crowdsourced knowledge from Lloyd’s List readers, we invited an all-star line up of shipping’s sharpest minds to join us for a discussion of the opportunities and threats that will be shaping shipping next year and beyond.

Understanding the tipping points that will determine the future of the industry is absolutely critical, and you can learn what to look out for in 2025 in this week’s episode, which brings you highlights from the event in London. 

• Nick Brown, chief executive, Lloyd’s Register
• Karrie Trauth,  senior vice-president and head of shipping and maritime, Shell
