The Trump administration released long-awaited global industry guidance last week that detailed best practices to detect deceptive shipping. What is not being said is almost as important as what is, but the takeaway here is that the international maritime industry will remain in the crosshairs of US sanctions enforcement no matter who wins the presidential election in November. On the podcast this week to dissect the implications for shipping are: Lloyd’s List editor Richard Meade, our markets editor Michelle Wiese Bockmann and our resident tiger at the throat of the insurance industry - David Osler.

Don’t forget to sign up to Lloyd’s List Ask the Analysts webinar on May 28.

In the second of our monthly Ask the Analyst webinar series, the focus turns to the outlook for markets in Asia and our view on mounting credit risk.

Following on from last month’s webinar where we offered the shipping industry the opportunity to ask our experts any questions on any aspect of the industry’s currently turbulent agenda, the team will be back on Thursday 28 May at 16:00 Singapore time / 9am UK to answer more of your questions.
