ABL September Maritime Market Briefing
Join us for the ABL September Maritime Market Briefing, discussing the following topics:
Cybersecurity in maritime – The risks and safeguards
As energy transition accelerates, offshore wind farms are set to occupy substantial areas of our seas. Having established this broad context, this presentation looks at the implications for shipping risk.
Update on the Red Sea
The maritime industry is currently navigating a period of disruption as the Red Sea and, consequently, the Suez Canal are affected by significant geopolitical factors. These issues are not only impacting the safety and efficiency of this major trade route but have also forced some of the world’s largest shipping companies into making major operational changes. These changes have increased the risk factors and added additional costs to the supply chain.
The technical presentation will be followed by a Q&A.
