The themes to be discussed are:
- Challenges, opportunities and risks on the global trade, shipping, economy, regulations and geopolitics; Hong Kong, China and the World.
- Designing zero-carbon ships of the future and what to do until they are ready
- Sense and nonsense about fuels.
A clear view of the design of the ship of the future: sustainability, innovations, new fuels, new ships, new technology, and the commercial viability of all new technological inventions and innovations.
These themes will be discussed again in a holistic approach, in a roundtable consisting of leading experts of the maritime industry chair-holders. They will exchange their thoughts, ideas, and visions.
