"Learning is not so much an additive process, with new learning simply piling up on top of existing knowledge, as it is an active, dynamic process in which the connections are constantly changing and the structure reformatted." - Dr. K. Patricia Cross It was really amazing to discuss how the learnings on the dry bulk side can have implications for the tanker industry. Cross-sectoral learnings are one of the key advantages and unique features of the Maritime Industry. As one of my mentors told me once, "The shipping industry is huge, but very closely knit!" Thanks Julia Swales for the opportunity for Maritime NXT and myself to share our thoughts in an interview with Alibra Shipping Limited, shared with TradeWinds. As I teach my course on "Geopolitical risks & their impact on trade flows" all through the year at various business schools, one of key impact factor I consider are "Critical Pathways" and their impact on trade flows. While the first idea that springs to mind hearing this term are the canals & waterways, the pipelines & internal trade routes are as vital as their larger cousins! This is why the Canadians have been smart with the Trans Mountain Expansion (TMX) Pipeline. This will help Canada bypass the Panama Canal to access the growing Asian markets. At the same time, they have take the right approach to the project - the ecosystem, collaborative and participatory one! It will be interesting to see how the trade flow impact pans out. On the dry bulk side, such internal logistic challenges are harder to surmount as most of the carriage and cargo operations is exposed to the elements but in case of the wet products, the pipelines and hose-to-hose cargo operations ensure smooth flow - both literally and figuratively! However, trade flow implications from dry bulk can be lessons for the tanker industry and vice versa. Watch out for this space as this will become even more strategic with geopolitical & political changes in North America! #geopolitics #tmx #canada #usa #asia #oiltrades #shipping #maritime #tankertrades #drybulk #tradeflows Jonathan Boonzaier Eng Dih Teo Kenneth Lim Yi Han Ng （黄翼航） Kris Ang Rodger Baker Thor Kristoffer Nielsen Dhrupad Mathur Marcus Hand Alibra Shipping Limited Mike O' Gorman Martin Jes Iversen Irene Rosberg Liping Jiang Satya Sahoo Marcus Ang Shantanu Bhattacharya Wei Hung Leong Kelvin Pang Peter Grube Nikos C.
