ABOUT BREAKBULK EUROPE: THE DIGITAL SPECIAL

Our mission is to provide expert industry insights to help the project cargo and breakbulk sector move together toward a new normal.

Business Outlook

First on the agenda will be “Business Outlook – How the Project Cargo Sector Is Adapting to the New Normal” on Tuesday, 29 Sept. at 2:00 pm BST. A panel of experts, moderated by Johan-Paul Verschuure, project director for Rebel Group, will discuss the impact of COVID-19 on their markets, changing demand and supply, as well as their promising strategic adaptations as they move into a new business era.

Formerly the technical director for the Maritime Advisory Team of WSP, one of the world’s largest engineering consultancies, Verschuure will bring a fresh view to this discussion with the knowledge to surface the best ideas from the panel. “I provide clients with financial and strategic advice,” Verschuure said. “This dual background enables me to structure and review business cases from a commercial, financial and technical perspective, which will be useful for the upcoming Breakbulk Europe webinar.”

Sustainability

On Wednesday, Sept. 30 at 10:00 am BST, the Digital Special will tackle sustainability with its partner the World Ocean Council (WOC). This year began with the implementation of IMO 2020 mandating an 80 percent reduction in sulphur emissions, but attention veered to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts up and down the supply chain. Despite challenging times, the industry continues to beat the drum for environmental reform. WOC’s founding president and CEO Paul Holthus will moderate this session, “Growing a Sustainable Future.”

Technology

On Thursday, Oct. 1, at 2:00 pm BST, the Digital Special will turn the spotlight on technology and how it can be leveraged to gain a competitive advantage. An industry that has traditionally fallen behind when it comes to digital transformation now has no choice to adopt technologies as it prepares for further changes to come. During “The Breakbulk Technology Landscape: Gaining a Competitive Advantage,” the panelists will reveal what investments should be made now to gain a competitive advantage—blockchain, IoT, AI and more will all be on the table. Leif Arne Strømmen, vice president of innovation and project logistics for shipowner G2 Ocean, will guide the discussion based on his experience as an innovator in the maritime sectors as well as in oil & gas and marine logistics.
