Emerging Opportunities Amid a Shifting Maritime Outlook
Employers in the maritime sector were surveyed on their expectations for the business environment over the next two years. The findings reflect a steady outlook, with some signs of optimism across the industry. A portion of respondents (3.8%) anticipated an improvement in the business climate, with 74.1% of them expecting a business volume increase of under 25%. This outlook is supported by projections of rising demand for transport and logistics services and the potential for more favourable ship acquisition costs. Meanwhile, 24.5% of respondents expected stable or moderated business activity, with 51.1% projecting a business volume adjustment of less than 25%. Factors influencing these expectations include global economic trends and evolving cost structures. Overall, the results suggest a stable business environment with opportunities for growth, particularly through enhanced demand and operational efficiencies.

Growing needs for IGF Code and ESG training
The need for mandatory training on the International Code of Safety for Ships using Gases or other Low-flashpoint Fuels (IGF Code) is growing very fast since the number of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) ships is rising rapidly. While local training is not available due to the lack of expertise, local training providers may consider offering relevant programmes in collaboration with Mainland/overseas institutes. In the meantime, there have been growing concerns over sustainable shipping and responsible business practices within the industry. Investors, customers and insurers are integrating Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) risk factors into their decision-making processes. Maritime executives should be equipped with ESG concepts including ESG-related regulations, key ESG indicators applicable to the industry, as well ESG reporting framework, to assist their organisations in adopting appropriate ESG strategies.
