The global maritime industry is governed by a series of global treaties and conventions. This system, however, leaves essential governance gaps that are becoming increasingly obvious amid a turbulent geopolitical environment. At the Annual Summit 2025, a dedicated working group came together to discuss the need to address these gaps, leading to the establishment of an industry-led task force comprising a small but diverse group of stakeholders. Read the group's ambition statement to the left.
The task force held its first workshop on 16 April 2026. The workshop convened approximately 40 representatives from the full maritime value chain, as well as government representatives and governance experts, at Lloyd’s Register in London. The aim was to build a shared understanding around the challenges at hand and the opportunities to collectively shape solutions. Combining expert presentations and discussions with collaborative work in breakout groups under the Chatham House Rule, it explored tangible actions for the task force and the broader maritime community to pursue.
