TIMES are tough across the industry right now, but there is a silver linings playbook for those prepared to look beyond the obvious and immediate crises in front of us and embrace a collaborative future.

That’s the view of our guest this week — DNV GL’s chief executive of maritime Knut Ørbeck-Nilssen, who believes that we are headed into a maritime renaissance. Things that we have traditionally done for years simply will not hold up, he argues, the tectonic shift transforming the maritime world will spur international solutions, turbo-charging digitalisation and forcing innovation that will fuel a revolution in shipping.
