Cetus Maritime is a Hong Kong-based operator focused on the minor bulk market. Like many shipping companies, it has spent recent years navigating geopolitical disruption, shifting trade patterns and growing regulatory complexity.

Chief operating officer Olivia Lennox-King believes the industry is operating outside traditional shipping cycles, with wars, sanctions and political risk increasingly influencing commercial decisions.

In this episode of Wavelength+, Lennox-King speaks with TradeWinds China correspondent and podcast host Huaqing Ma about the disruption to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, the charter disputes likely to follow, China’s role as the “factory of the factories”, and why fragmented emissions regulations may become one of shipping’s biggest future challenges.
