Shipping does like to talk.

And this week we have talked our way through sanctions, geo-political risk, diversity, digitalization and of course the big green elephant in the room at every event – decarbonisation.

So as London International Shipping Week puts the champagne flutes in the dishwasher and sweeps up the last crumbs of canapes from the floor, the Lloyd’s List team have gathered around the podcast microphone for a short reflection on what we have learned this week.

Joining Lloyd’s List Editor Richard Meade on this final edition of the week:

Our senior analyst and dark fleet botherer in chief Michele Wiese Bockmann

Our data queen Bridget Diakun

Our resident sustainability guru Enes Tunagur

Our multi media editor Declan Bush

Our chief correspondent Richard Clayton

Our insurance editor David Osler

And our US correspondent Tomer Raanan.
