This annual, in-person symposium will provide vital market intelligence, analysis and perspectives drawn from staggering times in shipping as the sector deals with disruption from macroeconomic headwinds, the impact of the Ukraine conflict and unprecedented supply-chain trends in China.

Our expert panel of speakers will help frame the critical decisions for Port & Terminal stakeholders as well as the wider maritime enterprise and presentations include:
- Trevor Crowe, Director, Clarksons Research and David Whittaker, Senior Shipping Research Analyst, Clarksons Research – expert analysis of the shipping market via a comprehensive source of commercial data on shipping and the shipping markets. ·
- James Neale, Associate, HFW - perspectives on the legal implications, consequences and disputes arising from the turmoil and market disruption taking place in logistics, with a particular focus on the implications of international sanctions on logistics operators.
- Justin Atkin, Port of Antwerp-Bruges – the Ports’ perspective, the impacts and challenges presented by shifting trade patterns on handling facilities and the ports readiness for the future.
Participants will also have the opportunity to contribute Question and Answer sessions to address further questions and provide comments to the panel of speakers.
