World-leading futurist, ecocentrist and visionary K D Adamson will join NorthStandard at London’s Gherkin to discuss the future of geopolitics, globalization, technology, economics, sustainability and industry.

Caught in the cross hairs of big power politics, under pressure from customers and governments to use fuels that don’t yet exist and on the cusp of a technological revolution, shipping has never been so complex. NorthStandard will bring together an exciting panel to explore these issues and how the links between them might influence the decisions the shipping industry must make today.

Insuring around 260 million gross tonnage worldwide, NorthStandard’s footprint spans the world, with offices covering all main shipping regions, including Asia (China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Japan), Australasia (Australia and New Zealand), Europe (UK, Ireland and Greece), and the USA.

The breakfast event will take place at the Gherkin on 14 September 2023 as part of London International Shipping Week.
