WED 10 MAR 2021
09:00 LONDON | 11:00 ATHENS | 17:00 SINGAPORE/MANILA
The pandemic is ongoing and in shipping we are witnessing changes to marine operations along with an increased digitalization. Various maritime stakeholders are trying to adapt to the new reality, searching for new digital tools and solutions. In that regard several stakeholders (Flags, Class, Authorities, Financial Institutions, Startups, Service providers etc.) opt to digital alternatives to real life challenges.
- How is COVID-19 changing the industry for better and worse?
- Where is the emerging need to transform the way we do business in shipping?
- What are the pros and cons of innovating in the current environment?
- Has shipping embraced successfully the new digital models? How likely is for the emerging smart options to prevail after the pandemic?
- What needs to be addressed in order to overcome any barriers and obstacles that inherit rapid digitalization within the sector?
