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. While we...

The Lloyd's List Podcast: Iranian sanctions prove complicated for shipping...again by Lloyd's List

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 d...

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.

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 stabi...

Dry bulk spot markets are verging upon the strongest levels witnessed in a deacde, 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 la...

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 cheer-leading sessions which have focused resolutely on 2050, ignoring the imminent sea change in the British government and accompanying co...

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 digitisation, decarbonisation, regulatory and financially enforced transparency all require urgent attention f...

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 St banks.

LNG was burning bright long before the US-China trade war re-shuffled the opportunity-risk balance for several stakeholders, but there are now supply concerns to contend with as well. Incremental LNG demand during the next five years will have been met by new capacities already under construction but there’s much more in the pipeline waiting for more a favourable political climate. So, is supply d...

Shipping’s major bank lenders have launched a unique collective climate programme called the Poseidon Principles, promising to transparently measure the climate impact of their portfolios and integrate climate considerations into lending decisions. Joining Lloyd’s List Editor Richard Meade to discuss the implication of this major new initiative is one of the founding architects of the principles,...

The Iranian threat is real and we are about as close to armed conflict as we can get, explains Bimco’s head of security Jakob Larsen on this week’s podcast. Regardless of who carried out the latest attacks in the Middle East, tanker owners now face a serious threat to the safety of crew operating in the region and further disruption could yet scupper markets and ultimately spark a full blown confl...

After a week of being bombarded with disruption, decarbonisation, digitalisation and the occasional drinks reception, what have our team of editorial explorers taken away from Oslo this year as their highlights? Richard Clayton, Linton Nightingale and Anastassios Adamopoulos digest the week’s events on the side-lines of Nor-Shipping 2019

The Nor-Shipping conference has inevitably been dominated by discussion of decarbonisation, but amid the tech-led innovation proposals and puff a growing consensus of industry leaders are finally talking about cross-sectorial collaboration being the key to clean shipping. Joining Lloyd’s List Editor this week to discuss what it will take to create a tipping point in shipping is Katherine Palmer, t...

“WE’RE looking for solutions,” explains Baroness Bryony Worthington, executive director of the Environmental Defense Fund in this week’s podcast. “We’re not here to beat the industry up or point fingers, we’re looking for what’s possible”. The EDF believes that International shipping can meet its target of at least halving its emissions by 2050, and can unleash trillions of dollars of investment o...

The Lloyd’s List team are back in London this week reflecting on another busy week of market-shaping stories. Expect insights into why Robert Yildirim was so angry about losing his bid to buy Long Beach Container Terminal, what’s keeping the container industry power brokers awake at night and why the IMO is struggling to keep up with the regulatory agenda. xx Janet Porter, our former chief corresp...

GOVERNMENTS and lobbyists alike are gearing up for another fortnight of decarbonisation negotiations at the IMO starting next week. But with industry eyes still set squarely on the looming 2020 sulphur reduction targets there is a growing feeling that the ambition to at least halve carbon emissions from shipping by 2050 may be stuck somewhere at the bottom of the industry’s to do list. For this we...

The shipping industry has been a set a generational challenge – cut greenhouse gas emissions by at least 50% by 2050. But how? Joining Lloyd’s List Editor Richard Meade on this week’s podcast is the esteemed maritime economist Martin Stopford who has a few ideas on how to decarbonise seaborne trade in under 30 years. Spoiler alert – it’s not going to be easy.

Lloyd's List discusses some of the more long-term trends and uncertainties facing the industry. The US is standing firm on its sanctions against Venezuela, but is there a clear process for penalising businesses? Governments are under the microscope again for their casualty investigation reports, or lack thereof, just as companies may be finding it harder to retain younger talent with potential.

In the final edition of our daily podcast from the Lion City, Editor Richard Meade catches up with our Singapore based Senior Reporter, Hwee Hwee Tan to reflect on the week’s events and talk about why there is a clear digital divide starting to show across the industry. Singapore may have put on s stellar showcase of future facing ambition, but the reality of maritime operations is that not all pl...
