We debut this, the 39th edition of the CMA Shipping Conference with a crucial tock taking exercise: where do we see the maritime industry in 2040? Our answer to this question will give us a clear indication of how are placed to succeed in delivering the 2050 goals and more importantly, to perhaps identify quite early on, if strategies need amending or if there is something we could be doing earlier than planned, thus accelerating the progress.

Equally important, we will come back to our theme of last year – Collaboration, as a mindset and practical approach to the discussion we propose here.
