The consensus findings of the world's leading climate scientists were issued this week as a “code red for humanity”. We are already too late to avert dangerous climate change and can only now manage the amount by which we overshoot our stated target, argues our guest on this week's podcast, the leading climate expert of low carbon shipping Dr Tristan Smith. He joins Lloyd's List Editor Richard Meade to discuss the IPCC report, what it means for shipping, why LNG is going to get more expensive and whether there is any optimism he can offer as we consider shipping's difficult transition to zero carbon.

P&I premiums for shipowners could cost half as much again in four years' time. In this week's Podcast we talk to Alex Vullo, the Gallagher analyst who's forecast this week predicted a 50% hike and North Group's chief underwriting officer Thya Kathiravel about why some clubs are better placed than others.

Don't mistake the anticipated lifting of Iranian sanctions for an easing of compliance risk. For those banks and insurers seeking to apply transparency to the opaquest end of seaborne trade, many are only just realising how far they still need to go in order to mitigate the risk that the Trump era in some way helped expose. For shipping that means more investment in due diligence and surveillance. Talking to Lloyd's List editor Richard Meade on this week's edition about how shipping can navigate the murky waters of sanctions risk and compliance are: Amalie Korning Wedege, head of sanctions compliance at Danske Bank and Leigh Hannson, a partner at the law firm Reed Smith specializing in sanctions compliance for shipping Access the new standard in sanctions compliance risk analysis.

Container shipping is not going to return to normal, according to Otto Schacht, the head of sea logistics at Kuehne+Nagel. The lines have a unique opportunity to permanently end the boom and bust cycles that have destroyed so much shareholder value over the years, and create an industry able to make decent money in bad times as well as good. Speaking of what happens next, the Lloyd's List mid-year Markets Outlook finds shipowners in a better place than they anticipated 12 months ago. While tankers will have to wait for a meaningful vaccine-led recovery, box and bulk are booming, with prospects of earnings stretching well into 2022. Our exclusive report examines all key sectors plus the regulation, insurance and finance outlook. Required reading for everyone in shipping!

IMO secretary general Kitack Lim joins the podcast this week to reflect on why the industry has struggled to resolve the crew change crisis that has left seafarers globally dealing with overly harsh, inappropriate, even unlawful restrictions on seafarers' freedom of movement. He also talks openly about the growing problem of crew abandonment, missing casualty investigations and responds to public mage concerns raised in recent media coverage.

Shipping's image problem is not a new issue, but the pandemic has exposed the industry's invisible status at a political level and the lack of understanding among the general public and mainstream media. That is a problem, but it is one of the industry's own making having opted to operate in the shadows for years. Joining the podcast this week is Sabrina Chao, the new president of BIMCO, who has pledged that the task of making shipping's voice better heard by the outside world will be at the top of her agenda over the next two years.

Shipping experts are call for serious commitment on sustainability ‘NOW' before it's too late. What's holding us back? Is the answer only to be found in zero carbon fuels, in which case how many years will it be until the right fuel or fuels have been trialled and tested under all conditions? What can be done while all this is going on, to reduce if not eliminate harmful emissions? And what has shipping discovered from several years of digitalisation to move us in the right direction? Roger Strevens, VP Global Sustainability at Wallenius Wilhelmsen, explains why reducing carbon intensity by one-third since 2008 is not enough.

This edition of the Lloyd's List Podcast is sponsored by Class NK. ClassNK experts Yukihito Fujinami and Tomoaki Yamada join the Lloyd’s List Podcast to discuss what the key elements are for designing the safety requirements for autonomous ships, what progress is being made, and how the organisation itself aims to contribute to the industry’s automation efforts Autonomous shipping is seen by many an inevitable path towards a safer, smarter, and even cleaner maritime transport. It is an exciting yet long journey that requires innovative thinking as well as step-by-step efforts. As we remain at an early stage in the process today, classification societies are facing the necessity to help set up a new standards and safety regime required to frame and facilitate the development of technologies. It’s both a big role to play and a challenging task to fulfill. The safety requirements for autonomous ships must be strict enough to be effective but also, at the same time, flexible enough to be practical. How to establish that sense of balance requires careful orchestration of various factors, including understanding the difference between the approaches aimed at “human support” and “human substitution”. Mr Yukihito Fujinami and Tomoaki Yamada from the Research Institute of ClassNK will discuss what the key elements are for designing the safety requirements, what progress is being made, and how the organisation itself aims to contribute to the industry’s automation efforts. Many of these issues will also be expanded in the ClassNK Technical Journal to be published in June of the year.

THE shipping industry lost one of its most influential people with the passing of John Angelicoussis. Mr Angelicoussis died at 72 on April 10 in Athens, after suffering a heart attack three weeks earlier. Considered by many the biggest Greek shipowner, in terms of both fleet size and stature, his career in shipping spanned almost five decades, during which he grew the family business into the 150 ship-empire that it is today. His group, that covers three major vessel segments, is believed to own the largest purely private shipping fleet in the world. His foray into the LNG sector in the early 2000s was a catalyst for the entry of Greek shipowners into a market where they are among the leaders. Mr Angelicoussis, a discreet personality who avoided the spotlight, was also known for his strong support of the Greek flag, and for the country’s wider maritime industry. His daughter, Maria Angelicoussis takes over as chief executive of the Angelicoussis group of companies. Our Greek correspondent Nigel Lowry and Citi chairman of Global Shipping, Logistics and Offshore, Michael Parker discuss who John Angelicoussis was, what made him so significant, and what his death means both for the business he leaves behind and the wider industry.

For several years there have been warnings that the ballooning size of boxships have been outpacing the industry’s ability to deal with the growing risk of such large assets. This week we ask whether the Suez crisis might just be the wake-up call that shipping needs to reassess it’s readiness when it comes to dealing with super-sized casualties. Joining the podcast is global head of marine risk consulting at Allianz, Capt. Rahul Khanna.

Nuclear power is back on the agenda in shipping. The atomic evangelists behind the new generation of molten salt reactor (MSR) technology believe it can kick-start a second atomic era, where climate change is the main driver of powerful, inexpensive and safe new energy solutions. On the podcast this week we talk to Mikal Boe, founder and chief executive of London-based Core-Power, about why nuclear now needs to move from the fringes of the environmental debate to become a serious part of shipping’s decarbonisation strategy

With the help of Bimco’s chief shipping analyst Peter Sand we’re taking a quick run through the key tipping points that will shape the shipping markets in 2021 on this podcast this week. Peter and Lloyd’s List editor Richard Meade cast their eyes over box market buoyancy, tanker troubles and the bulk market’s optimistic expectations for the year that inevitably all hinge on China. The next 12 months of shipping markets - all in under 25 minutes!

On the podcast this week we examine whether shippers’ complaints that box lines are profiteering hold any water. We then turn to the results of the Lloyd’s List Decarbonisation Survey that we conducted late last year in search of some much-needed clarity regarding carbon reduction. xx ARE container lines profiteering? Well the short answer of course is if they are then they’re really not very good at it historically speaking. Nevertheless, shippers are not a happy bunch right now with Asia-Europe rates in excess of $4,000 per TEU. Complaints raised in China, Europe and the US have again raised questions over the performance and practices of container lines, so this week we deploy our own container kingpins – James Baker and Janet Porter to discuss whether sky high freight rates and congestion justify shippers’ ire. We follow that with a look at whether we have sufficient clarity over the details of decarbonisation. To borrow a favorite phrase from former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, shipping’s zero carbon project is still riddled with too many ‘known unknowns’ Which is why Lloyd’s list teamed up with classification society Lloyd’s Register to launch a regular Decarbonisation Survey late last year. And the results are in. We are joined this week by our very our climate change consultant to the industry, Anastassios Adamopoulos and the head of Lloyd’s Register’s recently launched Decarbonisation Hub, Charles Haskell to discuss the survey results and what they tell us about the industry’s readiness to invest in a cleaner future.

IF entrepreneurs form companies to solve a problem and capitalise on a gap in the market, then it seems shipping’s problems are growing exponentially. The recent proliferation of accelerators, incubators and established maritime players all doggedly chasing start-ups as a testing ground for viable, and scalable, new business models – all suggests something of an entrepreneurial explosion. This week the venture development firm Rainmaking launched a maritime innovation advisory network for Southeast Asia, so we invited the company’s director for trade and transport Tarun Mehrotra, to come on the podcast and discuss why shipping needs this disruptive kick up the supply chain to get new, innovative ideas moving. We talk about whether shipping really is as conservative as the would-be disruptors would have us believe and why there is still a resistance to change and reluctance to adopt new technological solutions.

THE hot topic of cargo related fires on board containerships refuses to be extinguished, despite a recent flurry of industry efforts to snuff out the problem. We’ve not seen a Yantian Express, Maersk Honam or an MSC Flaminia reach the headlines in recent months, but there has been a persistent series of smaller fires that have gone un-noticed. And the numbers are not going down. According to the P&I Club Gard, on average there has been roughly one fire every two weeks so far in 2020. Joining Lloyd’s List Editr Richard Meade this week to discuss the persistent problem of burning boxes we have panel blazing with expertise: • Are Solum, Senior Claims Executive, Lawyer, Gard • Peregrine Storrs-Fox, TT Club risk management director • Capt. Rahul Khanna, Global Head of Marine Risk Consulting at Allianz

The Greek shipping community have always been wilfully contrary bunch in their attitude and outlook – it’s still the case that where the Greeks lead in countercyclical plays others follow and even in these capital constrained times it’s a brave analyst who bets against the Greek owner’s ability to turn a global crisis into an opportunity. That said, there are fault lines emerging in shipping right now and the sustainability of the Greek traditional business models is being tested. The tectonic shifts of decarbonisation and digitalisation and enforced transparency, be it the political, regulatory or financially enforced variety, are all to some degree at odds with the staunchly private, some might argue opaque nature of the Greek model that has powered them through so many other challenges to date. So in advance of our Posidonia Forum on October 26 (register for free via https://pages.maritimeintelligence.informa.com/PosidoniaDigitalForum) Lloyd’s List Editor Richard Meade is joined by our very own Greek oracle, the Pythia of Pireaus, our Greece correspondent Nigel Lowry to discuss the current status of Greek shipping sector.

This special edition is brought to you by Hyde Marine. Christopher Todd, executive director of Hyde Marine and Calgon Carbon UV, joins Lloyd’s List news reporter Anastassios Adamopoulos to discuss the state of the ballast water treatment system market, the effects of the pandemic on manufacturers and shipowners and what is in store for the sector.

Governments have this week pledged to speed up efforts to get hundreds of thousands of stranded merchant sailors home, but this comes after months of similar rhetoric and limited action. So can we expect things to change? International Maritime Organization secretary general Kitack lim – our guest on this week’s podcast – says yes. We are, he argues, in a wartime situation with the pandemic. Government responses have required time to heart up, but they are have now reached boiling point and the recent pledges are more than just promises.

This week’s podcast homes in on the container market and the storm that awaits at the hands of the coronavirus pandemic. The Lloyd’s List box team convene to assess which of the major carriers are best and worst prepared for the storm that awaits, as a precursor to this month’s Lloyd’s List magazine. Joining the podcast this week too is Sea-Intelligence’s Lars Jensen, who looks even further forward to how the industry may look come this time next year and beyond.

Next month Doha will play host to the Qatar Maritime and Logistics Summit, an event that promises to be one not to miss on the maritime calendar. Previewing the Summit we have even chair Richard Clayton, Mwani Qatar head of marketing Shammi Mohan, and Lloyd’s List’s Intelligence head of consulting Chris Pålsson. Linton Nightingale takes over from Richard Meade in the hot seat Registration details for the Summit can be found at: 2020.theQatarSummit.com

It’s that time of year when we start to reflect on the achievements of the past 12 months, look forward to what next year holds in store, then hurry to the Lloyd’s List local for a festive round of drinks. The questions on the table for this week’s Podcast are simple: What was your story of 2019 and what is your prediction for 2020? Gathered around the Lloyd’s List microphone with Editor Richard Meade this week are: Michelle Wiese Bockmann, Anastaassios Adamopoulos, James Baker and Richard Clayton. The Lloyd’s List Podcast will be taking a break over the festive period, but we will be back in January with more audio insights. For now though, Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all our listeners.

The campaign for mandatory speed limits for shipping suffered a blow during technical talks at IMO this week. For some that is crucial mistake and a missed opportunity. For others it is an effective strategy to reduce emissions. In this week's podcast we get the view from both sides: Danish Shipping director Maria Skipper Schwenn and Transport & Environment shipping analyst Faig Abbasov explain what the future is for decarbonisation

Environmental protection is ultimately going to trump trade, according to our Podcast guest this week - the IMO’s head of air pollution and energy efficiency, Edmund Hughes. Speaking to Lloyd’s List Editor Richard Meade and reporter Anastassios Adamopoulos in this week’s edition he talks us through his confidence around 2020 implementation, the lessons learned there about what happens next in the decarbonisation debate, and the role of the IMO amid rapidly changing political dynamics that it has limited agency in controlling.

In this week’s review of the stories shaping shipping our containers kingpins James Baker and Linton Nightingale discuss the peak season that never was and why flexibility trumps size, our chief correspondent Richard Clayton offers up the key lessons he’s learned from talking to the leading shipmanagment executives and Nida Bakhsh explains why governments are considering their options when it comes to casualty reporting.

The Lloyd's List Podcast: Iranian sanctions prove complicated for shipping...again by Lloyd's List

UK Shipping is very much in the spotlight this week, dealing with direct threats from Iran’s leadership amid rising tension in the Strait of Hormuz. Nearer to home, Brexit is never far from anyone’s minds, but you wouldn’t know it from this week’s UK maritime cheer-leading sessions which have focused resolutely on 2050, ignoring the imminent sea change in the British government and accompanying concerns over stability for the shipping sector. Joining us to deliberate the immediate threats and the longer-term opportunities for the UK maritime sector this week is a return guest to the podcast - Bob Sanguinetti, chief executive of the UK Chamber of Shipping

Lloyd's List discusses some of the more long-term trends and uncertainties facing the industry. The US is standing firm on its sanctions against Venezuela, but is there a clear process for penalising businesses? Governments are under the microscope again for their casualty investigation reports, or lack thereof, just as companies may be finding it harder to retain younger talent with potential.

Earlier this week Europe Editor-in-Chief Helen Kelly spoke with Dr Karen Purnell, managing director of ITOPF - A not for profit scientific organisation based in London. ITOPF has been providing technical advice on the clean-up of oil spills at sea for 50 years. It has worked with industry to bring major tanker accidents down from one every two weeks in the 1970s to one or two per year today. Dr Purnell talked about how ITOPF is evolving to include other types of pollution at sea, and why flag states should file accident investigation reports much more quickly.

This week Lloyd’s List Editor Richard Meade is joined by Bimco’s chief analyst Peter Sand and Lloyd’s List markets editor to discuss the outlook for markets and the shipping implications of a trade war.

THE Lloyd’s List editorial team have packed their sunglasses, notepads and aspirin and are preparing for a busy week out in Athens. Before the newshounds headed off we managed to pin some of them down long enough to gather their thoughts on what to expect and offer a little insight into the stories they are chasing this week. The podcast is a little shorter this week but we will be bringing you regular audio updates live from Athens throughout the week, so watch this space. The elite unit of editorial commandos this year include: Richard Meade - @Lloydslisted Helen Kelly - @HelenKelly_LL Richard Clayton - @rjbclayton Anastassios Adamopoulos - @Anastassios_LL Lambros Papaeconomou - @lpapaeconomou Nige Lowry - nigel@lowry.gr Feel free to flag them down if you see them around Athens, or alternatively send all feedback and story suggestions to editorial@lloydslist.com

A COMBINATION of rapidly evolving technologies are converging on shipping, challenging the traditional operating models of shipping, and with it, the role of class. It is no longer sufficient for a classification society to simply ensure that the technology works together the way that it is supposed to – they are simultaneously leading a rapid pace of innovation while balancing the complex questions of how to ensure safety, efficiency and regulatory compliance for an industry in flux. In advance of his star turn next week at the Lloyd’s List Business Briefing in Posidonia, Lloyds Register’s head of Marine and Offshore Nick Brown joins us to discuss the shifting requirements of an industry dealing with disruption on several fronts. Spoiler alert - for all the talk of accelerated digital change, Nick believes this is not an overnight transition and concurs with Lloyd’s List’s view that efficiency in shipping cannot be reduced to a single silver bullet of technology. Also on this week’s podcast: · Welcome to the GDPRty: Companies worldwide have been scrambling to prepare for the General Data Protection Regulation, enforced by the EU, and shipping, like everyone else, now faces much tougher rules on data privacy. Among the new rules, companies must reveal data breaches to regulators within 72 hours, tell users how their information is being used, and provide stored personal data to users on request. Joining us to discuss the implications for shipping companies this week is Philippe Ruttley, head of EU and competition law at the international law firm Ince and Co. · We are also joined once again by Lloyd’s List’s very own law and insurance expert, David Osler who explains why the discovery of three bags of cocaine strapped to the hull of a ship in 2007 has finally resulted in an important ruling from the Supreme court that has implications for the rest of the industry. For those of you asking when we will be available on iTunes, the wait is nearly over – details to follow in next week’s edition. In the meantime, all feedback and story suggestions are welcome and should be directed to editorial@lloydslist.com

WHEN Maersk chief executive Søren Skou declared his company’s latest results “unsatisfactory” this week, he no doubt garnered a sympathetic sigh of solidarity from his peers. The container lines may have a strategic eye on their digital future where their value as part of an integrated, efficient global supply chain is recognised both in terms of rates and utilisation, but they are certainly not there yet. The immediate concerns of high oil prices, rising geopolitical risks and ratcheting trade tensions are all testing the lines. And judging by the flurry of quarterly figures we have seen this week, Mr Skou is unlikely to be the only executive worried about the more immediate future right now. Also on this week’s edition: The received wisdom from the tech crowd is that blockchain offers a panacea to all ills. The proliferation of high-profile trials from Maersk and IBM to Cargill and HSBC has seen some blue-chip names put their bitcoin where their mouth is and sketch out an approach to technology that will accelerate more efficient trade flows while increasing security and eradicating all manner of corruption along the way. So why was Hapag-Lloyd’s chief exec Rolf Habben Jansen telling his peers this week that blockchain is “a money burning disaster”? When the tanker Sanchi collided with the bulk carrier CF Crystal in January, 32 crew lost their lives in the explosion and fire that followed. China has this week published the accident investigation report and while there are still remaining disagreements over the cause of the casualty, the fact that the publication exists and has been produced in record time is itself an important development. According to an investigation under way by Lloyd’s List nearly half of all casualty reports that should have been made public in the past four years are yet to materialise. So why are governments failing to file accident investigation reports? This podcast is now a weekly production from Lloyd’s List and we are keen to hear your thoughts on where you think we should be focusing our attention. All feedback and story suggestions are welcome and should be directed to editorial@lloydslist.com

On this week’s podcast HFW legal eagle Anthony Woolich joins Lloyd’s List editor Richard Meade to discuss how shipping should mitigate risk from Iranian sanctions.

Ian Urbina, an investigative reporter for The New York Times, just published "The Outlaw Ocean," a four-part series on crime in international waters. “It is a tribe. It has its norms, its language, and its jealousies. I approached it almost as a foreign country that happened to be disparate, almost a nomadic or exiled population. And one that has extremely strict hierarchies—you know when you’re on a ship that the captain is God.” Thanks to TinyLetter and Casper for sponsoring this week's episode.
