The Shipping Outlook: 2020 and beyond
Shipping faces another year of uncertainty in 2020, underpinned by political, technological and regulatory disruption. Register now to get ahead of the trends.
Lloyd’s List’s annual industry outlook event will gather the sharpest minds in the business to offer the inside track on the opportunities and threats facing shipping over the coming 12 months
Following the success of our inaugural 2018 year-end forum to promote visionary discussion and forecasting, Lloyd’s List will host a panel of industry leaders and pundits again this year to consider the coming, critical decade.
The discussion, to be held on the same day as the Lloyd’s List Europe Awards, will form part of our 2019 series of Excellence in Shipping awards and forums.
The forum will address the opportunities and challenges facing the shipping industry post-2020 in a decade likely to see irreversible change triggered by the imperatives of regulatory reforms and the drive towards decarbonisation.
Will shipping ever recover its cost of capital? What percentage of the global fleet will have installed and kept scrubbers? How will low sulphur fuel uptake impact profits? What are the biggest blockers to the operational efficiency of the industry?
Shipping is oversupplied with complex, but important questions that require answers. Lloyd’s List, together with Lloyd’s List Intelligence, will seek to supply those answers, in partnership with the industry’s best and brightest, to compose a clearer picture of what the industry will look like from 2020.
Shipping’s leading analysts and sector experts will converge in London on 10 December for the forum to debate the critical questions shaping the maritime markets.
Each headline question will be debated by a panel of experts chaired by Lloyd’s List Managing Editor Richard Meade, before the specially invited audience of industry executives will be asked for their market expectations via a live voting system in the room.
The consensus view from the forum will be combined with a series of pre-forum online polls and the Lloyd’s List 2020 Outlook publication to create a unique and informed snapshot of the key issues that will determine the fortunes for shipping in the years to come.
