Capital Link's 14th Annual Greek Shipping Forum will take place on Thursday, February 8, 2024 at the Athenaeum Intercontinental Athens in Greece.

Featuring the institutional and industry leadership of global shipping, this forum will address the industry's main trends and challenges, as well as the opportunities that lie ahead and strategies to compete in an increasingly complex and demanding world.

Today's global landscape is impacted by major trends such as geopolitics, energy security, increasing regulation, deglobalization, a slowing world economy, higher interest rates, shifting trade volumes with China, which has been the locomotive for global shipping and commerce, and more. In this environment, the role of shipping as the link in the global supply chain remains vital and despite the challenges it creates significant opportunities across the various market segments.

This event will focus on three main areas:

  • The current trends and outlook of the global economy and the main commodity, energy and shipping markets.
  • The critical challenges the industry faces today related to geopolitical and regulatory developments, such as compliance with decarbonization, trade sanctions & tensions, and the transformational impact of technology
  • As usual, Maritime Finance will be the core subject with focus on bank finance, capital markets, alternative funding mechanisms and private equity.
