Meet the Panellists of the CSN London Maritime Forum “Shipping: Predicting an Unpredictable Future” – Panel Discussion – “The reality of keeping up with geopolitical volatility and its impact on the industry”

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.

The risk landscape for global shipping is currently undergoing a period of unprecedented volatility. Geopolitical conflicts and regional instability have transformed once routine trade routes into extreme risk zones, forcing a rapid recalibration of marine insurance. This session addresses the immediate commercial realities of operating in this highly unpredictable environment. With war risk premiums surging and a shift towards voyage by voyage underwriting, shipowners and operators are facing complex decisions that directly impact both their commercial viability and crew safety.

Led by a keynote address from the Chairman of the Joint War Committee, the discussion will bring together leading insurance brokers, P&I claims experts, and shipowners to dissect these mounting pressures. The panel will bypass theoretical risk management to focus on practical strategies for navigating this geopolitical turbulence. Attendees will gain essential insights into how the insurance market is reacting to current crises, how claims are being handled in high risk scenarios, and what the maritime industry must do to safeguard its assets and operations moving forward.
