We were delighted to host our first webinar of Series 4 on Wednesday 16 September 2020, on the topic “How the Digital Revolution is Affecting Shipping Markets; What’s in Store”.
This time 2 sessions ran worldwide: one lecture for Asia – Pacific region and one lecture for EMEA – Americas region, enabling the ICS and Baltic Members, from all over the world, to keep up with the latest developments in digital revolution in shipping!
The Webinar for the EMEA – Americas region was presented by two experts from The Signal Group, Ms Semiramis Assimakopoulou, VP of Sales and Mr Ioannis Psarros, VP Commercial Operations.
Both speakers discussed on different aspects of digital revolution, how shipping industry is affected across markets and how tech evolution gives advantage to the forerunners of the industry. Attendees found the webinar extremely informative and were able to get an insight into new developments from leading maritime experts.
