What are the impacts of different threats across Asia on commercial shipping?

A combination of criminal and geopolitical drivers poses a wide assortment of potential threats for the merchant fleet.

Activities in Asia with the potential to impact commercial cargo operations range from low level criminality – e.g. in the Singapore Strait – to geopolitical manoeuvring as part of continued strategic plans to control marine resources, e.g. in the South China Sea. The respective consequences each pose for vessel operations vary significantly.

This webinar will explore the trends associated with each threat, comparing related statistics, initiatives and other developments that can impact the security of crew and vessels operating in the region. Lessons learned from past scenarios, the present status of activity and projections regarding what is in store for vessels navigating these waters will be shared and discussed.
