By Baird Maritime Gear Editor - January 22, 2021.

Capital Link’s annual German Maritime Forum will take place digitally on Thursday, January 28, 2021 from 12:00 to 18:05 Central European Time.

The event is held in partnership with DNV GL and with the support of the German Shipowners’ Association (VDR).

Germany commands the fifth largest merchant fleet in the world and boasts the second largest container fleet with 14.4 per cent market share by TEU. With 316 companies and 2,140 vessels, German Shipping plays a pivotal role in the European and global supply chain.

According to Capital Link, the German maritime community has recently gone through significant change and transformation across the board (ship owning, ship management, finance and more) further accelerated by regulation, technology, market forces and the pandemic.

The forum will feature German industry representatives on various panels sharing their insight on issues specific to the German maritime community and also on critical global industry topics.
