International trade is critical for global economic recovery. And so does the transportation of people and goods through sea. It has become more critical in the COVID-19 pandemic. Autonomous shipping is the emerging trend in the maritime industry for a higher efficiency, better time managements and increased output. However, the evolution has not been smooth and post pandemic recovery is still ongoing. This session addressees the global maritime trade and the trend in shipping industry. It seeks to analyse how global players can be resilient towards the evolving maritime seascape and improve towards a positive global economic outlook.
Security of Sea Lines of Communication is critical to SEA’s economic growth and regional prosperity. However, little attention is given to the importance of preserving a safe and secured maritime highway for unimpeded trade. Geo-politic interest, political contest and overlapping goals of Indo-Pacific strategies has multifaceted implication resulting in slowdown in shipping and economy. Maritime transport, ports operation and options for alternatives navigation shows that a conflict has deep impact on economic. The war between Russian and Ukraine is case in point where keeping the supply chain has been challenging. Against this backdrop, this session analyses on the most pressing issues on security and its relationship with global economy.
