Economic Outlook: Industry Impact
This presentation will look at global economic forecasts for 2024 and 2025, followed by a closer look at Europe's largest economies. The shipping industry has been affected by non-economic events such as the attacks on ships in the Red Sea and the droughts that have reduced traffic through the Panama Canal. The presentation will look at some of the indices and key sectors driving breakbulk and project cargo such as offshore wind, hydrogen, mining and mega infrastructure projects.
