“We all know how vital an industry shipping is to the world. However, to ensure shipping stays relevant and keeps pace with global agendas on climate change, trade policy and human rights issues it must work not only to increase internal collaboration but turn its gaze outward to communicate and engage with a wider range of key players.”
