This year, Capital Link’s German Maritime Forum is being held virtually on the Internet on Thursday 28 January 2021 from 12.00 to 18:15 hrs. The event is being carried out in partnership with DNV GL and with the support of the German Shipowner’s Association (VDR). The forum consists of various panels in which leading representatives of the industry discuss their insights into specific aspects of the German maritime economy and critical global industry topics. The digital character of the event opens it up to a global audience.
What makes winners in the shipping sector?
In the last 10 years, the German maritime cluster has acted in survival mode to a significant extent. However, a number of companies in the German maritime cluster have emerged from this period as winners and have positioned themselves as leading enterprises in the global maritime industry. What characteristics mark the current and future winners in shipping? Know-how, consolidation, innovation, the use of new technologies, leadership and the trust of all stakeholders? The Capital Link Forum will consider winning strategies, the greatest challenges and the question of how the German maritime cluster can use cooperation and dialogue to bring forth more winners.
Germany has the fifth largest trading fleet in the world, and with a market share of 14.4% based on TEU (Twenty Foot Equivalent Units) it has the second largest fleet of container ships. With 316 companies and 2,140 ships, the German shipping sector plays a central role in the European and global supply chain. The German maritime economy has seen a significant transition in areas such as ship ownership, ship management and financing, and this has been accelerated by regulation, technology, market forces and the pandemic.
In view of these figures and upheavals it will be interesting to see the conclusions which the industry leaders will come to in their panels and discussions at this year’s Capital Link German Maritime Forum.
