Event description
The Shipping Network Singapore’s networking events are designed as structured yet informal gatherings for senior professionals across the logistics, freight forwarding, and maritime sectors. Each event is divided into two distinct parts.
- The first part features short presentations and moderated conversations led by selected industry speakers, offering focused insights on strategic and operational topics relevant to the sector. This segment is designed to set context, stimulate reflection, and introduce shared themes for discussion.
- The second part transitions into a networking session with food and drinks, giving participants the opportunity to continue conversations in an informal setting, strengthen professional relationships, and expand their networks across chambers of commerce and industry partners.
This format balances content and connection, creating a dynamic environment that encourages both knowledge exchange and meaningful professional interaction.
Theme and programme
Theme: Risk and Resilience
Logistics
Chain Resilience in a Complex Global Environment
Executive perspectives on risk management and continuity planning
Senior logistics leaders will examine how organisations can keep international cargo moving across sea freight, air cargo, warehousing and inland transport networks during disruption. The discussion will address capacity constraints, inventory positioning, multimodal alternatives, shipment visibility and carrier coordination. Panellists will share practical perspectives on managing bottlenecks, protecting delivery schedules and balancing cost, capacity and service requirements across complex global supply chains.
Maritime
Navigating Geopolitical Tides
Strategic preparedness for global shipping operations
Maritime executives will discuss how shipowners, vessel operators and port stakeholders can maintain safe and reliable services amid geopolitical disruption. The panel will examine threat assessment, vessel handling, route selection, port calls, bunker planning and crew safety, including risks affecting the Red Sea, Strait of Hormuz and other strategic waterways. Panellists will consider how rerouting, operational coordination and scenario planning influence transit times, capacity, costs and schedule reliability.
