Aligning Risk Management, Innovation, and Infrastructure

  • Mitigating Risks in Transition: P&I Clubs insure shipowners in respect of third-party liabilities arising from operations of ships trading internationally. As shipping companies transition to new technologies and fuels, how can P&I Clubs support them in their own drives towards a more sustainable future?
    Confirmed speaker: UK P&I Club
  • Data-Driven Decarbonization: Data providers offer critical insights to optimize fuel use and reduce emissions. How can data analytics help shipping companies meet compliance and sustainability goals?
  • Adapting Shipyard Infrastructure: Shipyards are evolving to accommodate alternative fuels and new regulations. What adaptations are needed to support the industry’s decarbonization efforts?
