IMO 2020: What We Now Know…

Having been in place for just under two months, this session will discuss how the implementation of the IMO 2020 regulation on 1st January has impacted the breakbulk and project cargo sector so far. With marine transport contributing to the largest proportion of all breakbulk movements globally, we are now able to answer some of the most pressing questions, such as ‘what will the price of bunker be?’ and ‘what is the cost of non-compliance?’. Join this diverse panel to discover how the industry has adapted so far and what the forecasts are for the rest of 2020.

Carrier Check in: Business Outlook for 2021

Marine transport has traditionally been the top method of transportation for project cargo, a trend which was further enhanced throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Country and governmental restrictions and lockdowns meant movement of cargo by road and rail became more challenging and the benefits of marine transport outweighed the cost. In addition to the changes bought about by COVID-19, the Middle East is presenting a more and more diverse range of projects than ever before. This session will bring together top regional carriers who will be discussing how they are adapting to the shift in project focus throughout the region, their response to the challenges of 2020 as well as new opportunities, cargo and trends they see moving into 2021.
