This year promises to be an interesting one for the maritime industry, so before we get back into the regular weekly podcast we thought we would offer you a view from our correspondents on the stories they think will be shaping the year ahead in shipping.

Many of the ideas discussed here are explored in more detail in our annual Lloyd’s List Outlook Report, which subscribers will have seen some of already.

If, however, you don’t have a subscription but want to benefit from this essential view of the market you can buy a copy here:

The Lloyd’s List Outlook is unique in its scope and the way it applies market-leading data and forecasting with editorial expertise in all the core markets, including insurance, regulation, law and finance.

Covering each of the core shipping sectors with an in-depth view of the competing dynamics at play, the Outlook offers an insider’s view of market expectations from Lloyd’s List’s global team of analysts and editorial staff and combines it with Lloyd’s List Intelligence’s fleet supply forecast data and trends analysis.

The result is an invaluable take on the key drivers and challenges across the maritime market and should be considered required reading for anyone looking for an authoritative view on near-term market trends that will define business opportunities and risk in 2019 and beyond.
