Key Themes

-          What does recovery look like and how long will it take?

-          Investing for the future – with everyone’s eye on costs where will investments be made to ensure lower cost and increased efficiency of operations.

-          Will the legacy of COVID-19 be a decline in globalisation and what will be the impact for shipping?
