The Lloyd’s List Podcast: Where have all the pirates gone?
Piracy attacks are at a 30-year low according to the latest figures, but have the pirates really hung up their Kalashnikovs, or is this a statistical anomaly, rebranding or just more opaque reporting?

The Lloyd’s List Podcast: Can the Ukraine grain corridor survive 2023?
The Black Sea Grain Initiative is inherently flawed and it doesn't take a stretch of the imagination to think it could fall apart at a moment's notice.

The Lloyd’s List Podcast: Why we can’t allow climate talks to become a COP out
COP27 failed to deliver much in the way of progress. For shipping, though, the next steps in the IMO are what will determine the trajectory of whatever happens next.
