The Baltic Exchange participated in the Xinde Marine Forum held in London, where Jos Standerwick, Head of Membership at Baltic Exchange, moderated the opening panel titled "Maritime Value Chain Resilience and Collaboration." The panel featured representatives from various sectors of the maritime industry, including cargo interests, shipowners, operators, insurers, data providers, and industry associations.
They discussed strategies to enhance collaboration amidst the rapidly evolving global shipping landscape, addressing challenges such as changing trade flows, policy shifts, geopolitical uncertainties, and the need for greater resilience in global supply chains. While market mechanisms played a crucial role in aiding the industry's response to disruptions, panelists emphasized the necessity of stronger collaboration across the value chain.
Key areas for improvement included data sharing, ensuring policy stability, identifying emerging risks through insurance, and devising ways to share the costs linked to decarbonisation. Jos Standerwick was joined by esteemed panelists Yiming (Frank) He from Hong Kong Ming Wah Shipping, Luigi Pacella Grimaldi from Grimaldi Group, Sanne Frías Henriksen from A.P.
Moller – Maersk, Stephen Fletcher from AXSMarine, and William Fairclough from Wah Kwong Maritime Transport Holdings. The discussion also stressed the importance of aligning policy objectives with the industry's capacity to finance investments, shipbuilding, and the commercial realities faced by businesses within the maritime value chain.
The Baltic Exchange expressed its honor and commitment to continuing its engagement with Xinde Marine and the broader maritime industry to tackle the pressing challenges confronting the shipping sector today.
