CMA Shipping Conference 40th Anniversary Edition - Day 3
The adoption of AI and machine learning in shipping is transforming an age-old industry, making it more adaptable, efficient, and sustainable. As these technologies evolve, we’ll likely see even more applications, potentially reshaping global logistics and trade.
In this session we cast a hopeful eye on what the role of AI and ML is in our industry and where we are along the route to optimization.
As we near the end of our time at CMA Shipping 2024, we switch gears to consider the current issues facing our seafarers and what international, as well as American agencies have pledged to do to transform shipping into a fairer, more inclusive and thriving industry.
Recently, the topic of women in shipping and broader DEI discussions have surfaced in less than desirable ways – from sever instances of abuse and harassment, to still dramatic underrepresentation of women and other minority groups, to industry leaders proclaiming the situation solved. However, a lot of work is being done in the field by very devoted professionals and there is a clear mandate for diversity at sea. In this conversation we aim to spell out this mandate, through the power of positive example amongst some of the leading owners and operators and sense-check these with seafarers for a truer picture of where we need to go from here.

It’s time now to pass the baton to our future leaders, who have been working on a special project designed to bring together the discussions of today.
