'We need anywhere from $1 trillion to $1.4 trillion of investment to decarbonise the shipping industry and 80%-90% of that is imports. So, while we can talk about ships and the choices that shipowners and fuel providers like Shell will need to make, it’s the infrastructure that’s going to make the difference and I think that’s the biggest blocker we’ve yet to overcome.'
'There are some tough decisions to be made, but I think the reality is the old business models that we had are not going to survive this and I think that a lot of companies will have to figure out how they actually deal with this.'
'I don’t think anybody today anyone can afford not to invest in some kind of future-proofed ship. Either you wait, and you don’t order any newbuildings, or if you do order you make sure that you have something that will still be around in 15 to 20 years from now.'
‘Having a fully decarbonised fleet by 2050 is possible, but the blockers, which I think we all recognise, are that you need infrastructure and you need proper pricing to be able to get these new fuels. So it’s not really about building the ships, it’s about being able to get the right fuels at the right price.’

The twin tectonic shifts of digitalisation and decarbonisation will require the next generation of shipping leaders to rewrite the rulebook and redesign many aspects of global maritime supply chain. According to several of today’s leading industry executives, the gravitational pull towards scale and transparency is now an inevitable shift that will define the future of the industry
As the world comes to terms with living with coronavirus, it is the uncertainties presented by regulation, inflation, a flagging Chinese economy and existential threats to established business models that should be keeping shipping executives awake at night
Freight rates may have peaked for now, and there are some signs of supply chains easing, though the disruption is not over yet. Shippers should see some easier conditions next year, but there are still potential threats on the horizon

Pandemics don’t die, they fade away. At least that’s what governments are currently hoping will happen in 2022, but in the meantime, there is an immediate threat to deal with in shipping and the emergence of Omicron has been accompanied by a familiar set of knee-jerk responses from governments and a marked deterioration in business sentiment. This week’s edition of the podcast analyses the impact of the latest coronavirus variant and asks whether any lessons have been learned to deal with this latest wave.
