WE live in interesting times. The market is confronted with an increasing number of questions as unprecedented economic dynamics upend every aspect of the shipping industry.

Reliable answers, however, are in short supply.

While no one has the playbook for the coronavirus outbreak, Lloyd’s List and Lloyd’s List Intelligence occupy a unique position at the heart of the stories shaping shipping with our international team of experts well placed to meet the daily demand of enquiries coming in from readers.

That’s a conversation we now want to open up to the wider maritime market.

Starting this month, Lloyd’s List and Lloyd’s List Intelligence experts will hold a live webinar where we will answer your questions on any aspect of the shipping industry.

You can register to participate in the live sessions and submit questions in advance via the registration form. Access will be free to anyone who registers, and you will also be able to view previously recorded sessions on demand to get in-depth information about a particular topic.

While we will lead the conversation with our immediate view of the market each month, the discussion will be determined by your questions.

We will aim to answer as many questions as we can during the webinar by utilising our extensive Lloyd’s List Intelligence data combined with editorial expertise. If we are unable to address them all, we will endeavor to provide answers through follow up articles and analysis on the Lloyd’s List website.

So, get your questions in as soon as possible, ask us about your market conundrums or simply tell us where you want us to be aiming our combined editorial firepower over the coming weeks.

The first live event will take place on Wednesday April 29 at 1430 BST. 

The panel for the first session is as follows:

• Richard Meade | Editor, Lloyd’s List

• Christopher Palsson | Head of the Lloyd's List Intelligence Consulting team

• Michelle Wiese Bockmann | Lloyd’s List Markets Editor

• Anastassios Adamopoulos | Lloyd’s List Reporter

• Janet Porter | Chair of the Lloyd’s List Editorial Board

• Richard Clayton | Lloyd’s List Chief Correspondent

• James Baker | Lloyd’s List Containers Editor 

The Lloyd’s List Ask the Analysts Webinars will take place on the final Wednesday of each month. Time will alternate between Asia Pacific and EMEA/US slots. Webinars will be free to attend but registration is required. Please submit questions via the registration form here.
