THE breakneck pace of executive orders and policy announcements from the White House has disrupted the outlook for trade, sanctions, security and decarbonisation, leaving shipping executives in a spin over how to find the opportunities and mitigate the impact on their business operations.

Amid this increasingly fractious and unpredictable environment, the International Maritime Organization is pressing ahead this year with decarbonisation measures that will affect the entire shipping industry. 

Recorded in late March, prior to the “Liberation Day” announcement of new US tariffs, our latest webinar offered a timely opportunity to examine the risks and opportunities for businesses that must adapt to a rapidly changing world order of shifting trade lanes, fragmenting geopolitical agendas and evolving regulations.

Among the questions our expert panel of Lloyd’s List Intelligence analysts and journalists tackled were:

• What are the most significant risk factors affecting core shipping markets this year?

• How does the shifting US rhetoric around Russia and Iran impact sanctions compliance and enforcement?

• How resilient are supply chains and trade routes against the backdrop of geopolitical risk?

• Will the IMO catalyse investment to bridge the gap between fossil and net zero fuels?

Joining Lloyd’s List’s editor-in-chief Richard Meade were:

• Eric Orsini, head of compliance and regulatory affairs, Lloyd’s List Intelligence

• Bridget Diakun, maritime risk analyst, Lloyd’s List Intelligence

• Tomer Raanan, senior maritime reporter, Lloyd’s List

• Greg Miller, senior maritime reporter, Lloyd’s List

• Declan Bush, senior reporter, Lloyd’s List
