Navigating through a Sea of Change is a Mare Forum conference that aims to tackle the inhibiting factors which prevent the shipping industry from being profitable, safe, secure and environmentally sound.

Shipping is an essential industry, that grows with world trade and is not threatened by alternative modes of transport. Most of it is operated in a safe and secure fashion, it is technically advanced and it has made substantial strides in its environmental improvements. But it continues to be identified with the bad practices of a sub-standard minority and mostly because the public scarcely knows it is there, is regarded as a marginal player and well down in the scale of public estimation. This is reflected in its poor performance in stock markets and the difficulties it experiences in its attempts to raise capital.

It has scarcely been helped by its traditional volatility, and its feast to famine record over the years. Over competition, political interference in the supply-demand situation, the continued presence of government interests, notably in shipbuilding areas, all contribute to its failure to present a picture of sustained profitability. Against this, there are certain strong and flexible companies which continue to prosper , year on year, free from the short termism that affects the performance of many of their competitors.
