On 3 October 2018 the Global Maritime Forum’s Annual Summit took place in Hong Kong. IUMI was represented at this high level event by Executive Committee Member Patrizia Kern from Swiss Re. On this occasion the Global Maritime Issues Monitor 2018 was launched.

The Issues Monitor is based on research among senior maritime stakeholders from more than 50 countries, and their perceptions on the impact, likelihood, and preparedness on a number of issues potentially affecting the global maritime industry. The report also undertakes deep dives into the emerging trends in digitalisation and decarbonisation.

The Global Maritime Issues Monitor is jointly published by the Global Maritime Forum, Marsh and IUMI.
