Meet the Panellists of the CSN London Maritime Forum “Shipping: Predicting an Unpredictable Future” – Panel Discussion – “Ship Finance: Navigating Capital, Risk and Opportunity”

The Forum will take place on 13 October 2026 at the Marriott Hotel Regent’s Park Under the theme “Shipping: Predicting an Unpredictable Future”.

The CSN London Maritime Forum is exclusively designed for senior decision makers navigating the complex commercial and geopolitical realities of modern shipping. This highly targeted event is essential for shipowners, shipmanagers, C-suite executives, maritime financiers, marine insurers, legal professionals, and technology innovators. If your role involves making critical strategic, financial, or risk management decisions for the future of your enterprise, this forum will provide the practical insights, candid dialogue, and high level networking you need to stay ahead.

Capital allocation in shipping has never been more complex. As the industry faces the monumental financial cost of the green transition, traditional funding models are being rapidly overhauled. This opening session delves into the intersection of green finance and maritime decarbonisation, exploring how owners can secure the capital required to future proof their fleets. Moving beyond standard banking structures, the session will also examine how modernising payment infrastructures and managing foreign exchange risks are becoming essential tools for protecting commercial margins in a highly volatile market.

A central highlight of this session is an uncompromising look at ESG linked financing, asking the critical question of whether these frameworks offer genuine commercial incentives or merely create another layer of regulatory compliance. Bringing together leading financiers, market analysts, and technology experts, the panel will dissect the hard truths of securing investment today. The session will then broaden its lens to address fleet management, exploring how operators must adapt their commercial strategies and daily operations to navigate the severe geopolitical shifts redrawing the global maritime map.
