Panel Session 1: Green roles are the future
Where can women make the biggest impact with new opportunities from specialised skills?
The shipping industry is moving fast to new types of fleets, new requirements, and new stakeholders’ expectations, which means that it needs all talent on board. Decarbonisation of shipping and new environmental regulations combined with workforce and skill shortages have emerged in the top three issues dominating maritime leaders’ agendas.
Advancements in new technology and digitalisation have been transforming the maritime industry and have created a whole new bunch of job opportunities for specialised skills. As tech continues to advance, it is crucial for maritime companies to stay updated on these trends and acquire the relevant knowledge and skills to adapt to the changing landscape.
In this interactive and educational panel, beyond gender etiquette, we discuss in which areas of maritime transitions women can make the biggest impact, by contributing their expertise, perspectives, and leadership in various capacities during this great emergence of green roles.
Education & Retention: Ensuring that the onboarding women get the same opportunities to advance their careers by engaging in educational initiatives and training programs that focus on sustainable shipping. By taking their careers to the next level, women can help disseminate knowledge, raise awareness about environmental challenges, and inspire the next generation of maritime professionals to embrace sustainability.
Seafarers of the Future and HR Considerations: By aligning their hiring practices with the evolving needs of the industry, maritime companies can attract individuals who are equipped to navigate the challenges in the years to come and the new type of seafarer.
Looking Behind the Scenes: A profile and requirements of the future maritime workforce.

Panel Session 2: Responsible Leadership: A CEOs guide to ESG in shipping
Setting the Tone from the Top: Leaders play a crucial role in the successful implementation and integration of an Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) strategy within an organisation, acquiring a new duty of care to ensure the viability of the business. By developing a clear ESG vision, the commitment to its requirements and fostering a culture of sustainability, leaders can effectively drive positive impacts and create long-term value for the industry.
Despite working towards a greener and more equitable future, implementing ESG strategies usually comes with many barriers and dilemmas such as lack of awareness, limited global standardised criteria for what makes an investment sustainable, uncertainty under the legislation, the governance of AI, talent acquisition and much more.
In this panel, we talk to leading CEOs on how they get their strategic stance right by managing each element of ESG and selecting the partnership structure that fits their objectives.
