CHARTING A SMART COURSE FORWARD FOR GREEK SHIPPING
To succeed you must survive until you get lucky
Quarterly and annual plans and decisions are no longer feasible in a time of AI
when continuous data update is available – data must be leveraged to make
weekly and monthly decisions
We had a tremendous day at our 27th Marine Money
Greece conference on 16th October 2025 at the fabulous
venue Asteria Glyfada (DOMUS). It was a full room with
over 300 delegates and speakers with about one quarter
travelling in from 19 countries.
The quality content during the discussions in the conference
room was matched by the enthusiastic networking outside.
And the meeting room area and networking areas at
DOMUS worked perfectly to encourage debate, private
meetings and casual drinks.

In the meantime some of the takeaways from the
conference include:
- Trade is travelling more than ever even as US
tariffs reach a high not seen since the Great
Depression
- A necessary response to the new trade disruptions
are rearrange, ramp-up, replace and reduce
- There is a trend for there to be more trade
between geopolitical allies and this is changing the
geographical route of some trades
- Global energy consumption is expected to shift to
33% to 42% electricity by 2050 but how will this
electricity be produced – fossil fuels, renewables,
nuclear and more
- Fossil fuels, whatever may be the dream case
scenario, will remain important well beyond 2025
- Sustainable fuel demand will grow 400% by 2050
to 600 million tons per year
- All owners must embed global trade scenarios in
their business planning
- You must define a fleet composition and
deployment strategy for the years ahead
