It seems we find ourselves in an era of “cascading crises”. The de-risked, de-coupled, low growth, fractious trading environment that the industry is navigating today is laden with uncertainty. China's growth engine is sputtering. The consequences of sanctions and regional bloc economics is creating a bi-polar political and trading environment and inflation is starting to bite. And then there's the existing twin track revolution of decarbonisation and digitalisation to deal with. For those of you returning to the Lloyd's List Podcast after our short summer hiatus – don't worry – we haven't run out of topics to talk about. This week the great and the good of the shipping industry are descending on Lloyd's List's doorstep for London International Shipping Week and, not wishing to disappoint our guests we're going to be running a daily podcast for the duration of the discussions. We are starting a week of LISW podcasts with a whistlestop tour of the issues keeping industry executives awake at night. Today's edition features: • Nikolaus H. Schües, BIMCO President and CEO and owner of Reederei F. Laeisz • Sarah Treseder, UK Chamber of Shipping. Chief Executive • Guy Platten, secretary general, International Chamber of Shipping • Michael Parker, Chairman, Global Shipping, Logistics & Offshore at Citi and one of the architects of the Poseidon Principles

In this episode, we meet David Shukman, former BBC Science Editor. For over 30 years David has been reporting from all over the globe on the profound changes that are happening in our environment, our seas, and the wider natural world. Having started his career with the BBC in 1983, he was appointed the BBC's first science editor in 2012, a position he held until stepping down at the end of COP26 in Glasgow. David has some fascinating stories to share from his time as a science reporter, and he's also thought a lot about the future of the world's oceans and the profound changes and innovations we're witnessing here in Britain. This episode is the full interview with David, who briefly appeared on our recent episode on the future of the UK's ports (episode 45). In that episode we explored the innovation that's happening the UK's maritime economy, the role of ports as a powerful engine of regional growth and a potential gateway to new global markets and routes to foreign direct investment. We also heard from some of the innovators and port operators who are writing a new maritime story in Britain, like Bob Sanguinetti, CEO of Aberdeen Harbour and Nolan Gray, Freeport Director at Tees Valley Combined Authority. We heard from Anna Ziou, Policy Director at the UK Chamber of Shipping, as well as Mark Wharton and Sophie Peachy from IOTICS, a UK company specialising in data and digital twin technology.

The United Kingdom is a maritime nation. Our ports have long been hubs connecting Britain to the rest of the world. Yet if we think of ports as under-utilised hubs of innovation, things start to get exciting! Whether it's 5G, autonomous systems, or net zero infrastructure, our ports can foster diverse innovation ecosystems. They can also be powerful engines of regional growth, as well as gateways to new global markets and routes to foreign direct investment. With the right vision and imagination, we have the tools and capabilities to write a new and exciting chapter in Britain's maritime story. This episode features a special guest, David Shukman, the BBC's former Science Editor, who's reported from around the world on climate change and the environment for 30 years. We also meet some of the innovators and port operators who are writing that new maritime story, like Bob Sanguinetti, CEO of Aberdeen Harbour and Nolan Gray, Freeport Director at Tees Valley Combined Authority. We hear from Anna Ziou, Policy Director at the UK Chamber of Shipping, as well as Mark Wharton and Sophie Peachy from IOTICS, a UK company specialising in data and digital twin technology.

In the second of our special London International Shipping Week daily editions of the Lloyd's List Podcast we talk to the outgoing UK Chamber of Shipping chief executive Bob Sanguinetti about the state of British shipping, Brexit, cyclical government support for shipping and the vexed question of decarbonising the global supply chain.

This time around, we talk about how seafarer wellbeing has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our discussion will be framed by the recent survey Lloyd's Register (LR) undertook with the UK Chamber of Shipping and the Mission to Seafarers that assessed the impact of COVID-19 on the maritime workforce.This online survey was targeted at employees across the global maritime industry and ran for three months between June and September 2020. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In the first episode of Maritime Careers I speak with Ben Murray the Director Maritime UK. We speak about what role Maritime plays to the UK economy; what attracted him to working in the industry, as he was not maritime before, and what opportunities are available. We both had a lot of fund diving back into our past careers in maritime. Maritime UK is the umbrella body for the maritime sector, bringing together the shipping, ports, services, engineering and leisure marine industries. Our purpose is to champion and enable a thriving maritime sector. Supporting over 1 million jobs and adding £46.1bn to our economy, maritime is responsible for facilitating 95% of UK global trade, worth over £500bn per year. The UK maritime workforce is 42% more productive than the average UK worker. Maritime makes a greater contribution to the UK economy than both rail and air combined. The sector the fundamental enabler of British global trade and exports its own innovative products and services. With cutting-edge technology, high-quality design & manufacturing, unparalleled expertise in services and major investment opportunities, the UK is the natural home for global maritime business. Maritime is a vital part of our island nation's heritage and of our modern economy – supporting jobs, driving innovation and enabling trade. The sector also enables millions of people to enjoy the recreational benefits of the UK's coastal and inland waterways. Our members are: British Marine, British Ports Association, Cornwall Marine Network, CLIA UK & Ireland, Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers, London International Shipping Week, Maritime London, Mersey Maritime, Nautilus International, Seafarers UK, Society of Maritime Industries, Solent LEP, South Coast Marine Cluster, The Baltic Exchange, Trinity House, UK Chamber of Shipping and the UK Major Ports Group.

The German chemical firm Bayer is to pay out nearly $11bn to settle cancer claims linked to its Roundup weedkiller, whilst denying any wrongdoing by the firm. We discuss the extent to which such weedkillers are used in UK farming with Joe Stanley, a beef and arable farmer who works in central England. And we get further reaction from Anja Hazekamp, a Member of the European Parliament from the Netherlands, who sits on the parliament's Environmental Committee. Some US private schools have re-examined issues of racism after George Floyd's death. Ayo Lewis and Ashley Prescott describe some of the issues they faced as black students at an elite New York private school. Harvard Graduate School professor Anthony Abraham Jack is author of The Privileged Poor, and tells us access to elite colleges doesn't always mean inclusion. And Shartoyea Scott Dixon, vice president of campus programmes at Management Leadership for Tomorrow explains why the number of black MBA students at Harvard University has remained stagnant for three decades. Plus, on International Day of the Seafarer, we examine the plight of ship crew members who are stuck on vessels as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, with Bob Sanguinetti, chief executive of the UK Chamber of Shipping.

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

The UK’s Brexit deal may not be pretty, but it just about works for shipping in that the prospect of simply crashing out of the EU next March looks much worse. But is the maritime sector being listened to by a government that is apparently struggling to work out the significance of one of its own major ports? Lloyd’s List Editor Richard Meade sits down with UK Chamber of Shipping chief executive Bob Sanguinetti this week to discuss why he has urged MPs to think very carefully before attempting to halt the progress of the only deal on offer.
