Terry Macalister Tradewinds and David Osler Lloyd’s List
The new reality of Trade Wars and Protectionism
Has business been affected yet? What difference has
this made to operations? Has this changed future fleet
plans, newbuilding? Can shipowners benefit from
protected trade? What do you predict will happen next?
Global Governance under threat
What is the future of the World Trade Organization or
even the IMO? Could this impact international trade
organizations such as the ICS? Will there be a bigger role in
future for national shipowner bodies? Who will safeguard
future safety and environment rules? Will they be diluted?
Global Economy booming but set for slump
What is the optimist’s macro-economic view /
the pessimists view of the future? Is a fragile shipping
in any condition to cope with another big downturn
in trade? Where are the shipping freight markets in their
own state of recovery? All right for some sectors?
What are the biggest threats inside the maritime sector
to future prosperity?
