‘How can the maritime world deal with global warming?’
‘The threats and opportunities for European operators in relation to the rise of the maritime economic power of China and other countries of the Far East’
Is it inevitable that the growing political and economic power of China means that it should be given more say in international maritime affairs and become a centre for multinational organisations such as IMO and the ICS?
Is there anything that Brussels can or should do to ensure that Europe retain a significant critical mass of local shipowners and ship yards?
