Shipping podcast

This week we’re taking a deep dive into the too often overlooked LPG sector with Epic Gas chief executive Charles Maltby. While the headlines have favoured their certainly cooler, arguably sexier cousins in LNG, we think it’s time everyone started paying attention to the cheaper, more agile and profitable pressurised market

Shipping’s first major far-reaching moonshot initiative is here. The Getting to Zero coalition has set its eyes on delivering commercially viable zero-emission vessels by 2030. On the podcast this week to explain what the coalition is all about are the Environmental Defense Fund’s Baroness Bryony Worthington and Tristan Smith from the University College London Energy Institute and University Maritime Advisory Services

The annual marine insurance bun-fight that is IUMI may not be everyone’s idea of a party, but there was a palpable undercurrent of optimism rippling through the actuaries and analysts this year. Our crack squad of risky reporters managed to grab a few words with such luminaries as Nick Shaw, chief executive of the International Group of P&I Clubs, Astrid Seltmann of Cefor, and Lars Lange, IUMI’s Hamburg-based secretary-general

The Lloyd’s List team have squeezed into their finest formal attire, popped a cork and gathered round the microphone to give you a prosecco-fuelled reflection on the blur that was London International Shipping Week. From zero carbon politics and 2050 targets to training and of course Brexit — we’re not short of an opinion or five on the biggest issues of the day. Consider this the digestif after the full fiver course tasting menu we’ve been serving you up all week in audio form.

As we near the final mile of the London International Shipping Week marathon, we join two of the race leaders to reflect on the major themes of the week’s debate, including: political backing for shipping, financing the fourth industrial revolution and the benefit of robust debate, along with a little hirsute finance leadership. Joining Lloyd’s List Editor Richard Meade from the LISW conference today are Harry Theochari, global head of transport at law firm Norton Rose Fulbright and chair of Maritime UK, and Michael Parker, chairman of Citi’s shipping and logistics business.

How do we fund zero-carbon shipping and accelerate it beyond the current IMO targets? Double freight rates and use the IMO seems to be the message from today’s panel. Joining us on today’s edition from around London International Shipping Week we have a stellar panel of experts: businessman, academic and former chairman of the UK Financial Services Authority, Lord Adair Turner; Director of the Environmental Defense Fund (and former podcast guest) Baroness Bryony Worthington; and Grimaldi Group managing director Emanuele Grimaldi

ABS chief Chris Wiernicki is in the studio with Lloyd’s List Editor Richard Meade for today’s podcast and they are talking about the path from here to 2050 and why software safety must be integrated into the industry’s planning now. It’s not going to be the structure or equipment that will cause the next major accident — it’s the software that we don’t see that is shipping’s greatest risk factor

In the first of a daily series of London International Shipping Week Podcasts, Lloyd’s List Editor Richard Meade dissects the current sanctions risk facing shipping with the help of Lloyd’s list’s tanker tracker-in-chief Michelle Wiese Bockmann and input from the panel of experts pulled together to talk at Lloyd’s List’s Transparency in Shipping Forum

Paddy Rodgers, the former Euronav chief executive and current director of Royal Museums Greenwich, looks ahead to the London International Shipping Week agenda with Lloyd’s List editor Richard Meade, considering everything from the domestic focus on Brexit to the global challenges that face the entire industry

As London International Shipping Week approaches, along with the increasing likelihood of a no-deal Brexit, we are joined by UK Major Ports Group chief executive Tim Morris on this week’s Podcast to discuss what lies beyond Brexit for the UK port sector and how to build a ‘strong port’, indeed a strong maritime sector, sufficiently resilient to withstand the mega trends from here to 2050

CMB’s chief executive Alexander Saverys believes that hydrogen offers shipping’s best bet to reach a zero-carbon future and he is investing heavily to that end. But even he concedes that things are moving too slowly, and greater collaboration and partnerships will be required before the technological challenges can be overcome. He joins Lloyd’s List editor Richard Meade on this week’s podcast to discuss the industry’s green investment conundrum and why a collective effort is going to be required to hit the industry’s 2050 emissions goals

We are talking pensions on this week’s podcast with Roy Murphy, who is chair of two maritime industry pension schemes, the MNOPF and the Ensign Retirement Plan. But not before we’ve also given you an early heads up on our ‘Transparency in Shipping’ forum coming up at London International Shipping Week (Sign up: Lloydslist.com/Londonforum).

On this week’s podcast we’re taking another look at the latest developments for shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and examining Lloyd’s List’s latest analysis of the Top 100 box ports. British tankers may no longer subject to price discrimination on war risk insurance for trips to the Gulf, provided they are under naval escort when transiting the Strait of Hormuz, but that suggests a level of stability in the region that doesn’t yet exist. Despite the increasingly undiplomatic diplomacy, shipping still looks to be caught in the middle of a macro turf war with few good options left open

Dry bulk spot markets are verging upon the strongest levels witnessed in a decade, while capesize bulker earnings have soared to the highest level in 14 years. But how long can this last? Joining the Lloyd’s List podcast this week to discuss the outlook for dry bulk markets is John Michael Radziwill, the chairman and chief executive at C Transport Maritime. He thinks this is a market that could last for the next 18-24 months. ‘You’ve been waiting for this and this is your time,’ he tells fellow dry bulk owners. ‘Grab every cent out of every cargo. And whatever you do — don’t order any newbuilds’

UK Shipping is very much in the spotlight this week, dealing with direct threats from Iran’s leadership amid rising tension in the Strait of Hormuz. Nearer to home, Brexit is never far from anyone’s minds, but you wouldn’t know it from this week’s UK maritime cheerleading sessions which have focused resolutely on 2050, ignoring the imminent sea change in the British government and accompanying concerns about stability for the shipping sector. Joining us to deliberate the immediate threats and the longer-term opportunities for the UK maritime sector this week is a return guest to the podcast — Bob Sanguinetti, chief executive of the UK Chamber of Shipping

Guy Platten, secretary-general of the International Chamber of Shipping, joins the Lloyd’s List Podcast this week to talk us through the industry’s ever-growing agenda. The immediate issues of 2020, shipping security and training are just the tip of the iceberg — the big macro headwinds of digitalisation, decarbonisation, regulatory and financially enforced transparency all require urgent attention from those seeking to represent shipping on the global stage

We are talking sanctions busting, transparency and data integrity on this week’s podcast. In the wake of the latest tanker being caught carrying sanctioned cargo, we examine how deceptive patterns of behaviour are being tracked, why shipping’s grey areas are increasingly under scrutiny and what questions we should all be asking when it comes to data transparency and trustworthiness.

Michael Webber, Wells Fargo’s superstar shipping and LNG research analyst, makes a welcome return to the podcast this week to offer his outlook on the second half of the year and talk LNG, industry leadership and why he’s not overly concerned about the recent exodus of equity analysts from Wall Street banks
