THE shipping industry can overcome geopolitical challenges and thrive, according to the Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers (ICS) Greek Branch at its 17th Annual Forum, reports Hellenic Shipping News Worldwide.
The event, Moving Forward with the World in Turmoil, was held on December 7 at the Eugenides Foundation that was broadcasted live around the world.
ICS Greek Branch and Hellenic Management Centre managing director Natalia Margioli explained how this year's theme aimed to capture the many challenges facing stakeholders.
"Shipping companies have continued to advance the skills of their human resources, and this has contributed to the resilient character and progression demonstrated by Greek professionals. Continuous professional development and education is integral to navigating an increasingly complex world," said Ms Margioli.
ICS Greek Branch chairman Nicolas Tsavliri and Tsavliris Salvage Group addressed delegates. "The shipping industry remains resilient, robust and adaptable. Historically, it always emerges stronger after challenging times, and the ICS has an important role to play in these unpredictable times," said Mr Tsavliri.

Mr Plakiotakis noted the importance of the transport sector in ensuring resilient supply chains and creating reliable mechanisms for vessels to move smoothly and safely worldwide.
