THE Lloyd's List Posidonia Week Forum, in co-operation with Posidonia Exhibitions, takes place on Monday, October 26 and will examine the financial, leadership and human resource challenges for shipping in a pandemic and beyond.

Key talking points include:

• What has changed in the balance of risks and rewards for shipowners today and is it still an industry in which owners can be confident of making money?

• How can the industry balance demands to reduce emissions while staying profitable?

• Will the pandemic hasten the digitalisation of shipping, and how will the industry’s human element evolve in the shadow of the coronavirus?

Speakers for the event are:

• Petros Pappas, chief executive, Star Bulk

• Dr. Sadan Kaptanoglu, president, BIMCO

• Ioanna Prokopiou, chief executive, Sea Traders
