Beyond “business as usual”: Investing in shipping through uncertain times

DNV Maritime Advisory and Reed Smith are once again partnering to deliver an exclusive half-day shipping seminar in London, this year titled Beyond “business as usual”: Investing in shipping through uncertain times.

Shipping is no longer operating in a predictable cycle – it’s moving through one of the most consequential shifts in decades. 

Geopolitical fragmentation, accelerating regulation, rising fuel transition costs, and tightening capital conditions are fundamentally rewriting how value is created - and how risk must now be priced and underwritten. 

DNV Maritime Advisory and Reed Smith are bringing together a select group of investors, shipowners, lenders, and advisors in London for a focused half-day shipping finance seminar exploring where capital can earn, where it will face challenges, and where the next competitive advantages are forming.
