Fragmentation, flows and the future of trade: Navigating Asia’s new trade map

Asia sits at the centre of a global trading system undergoing rapid realignment, as geopolitical disruption forces companies to rethink established trade routes, sourcing strategies and supply chain relationships. 

Trade corridors are exposed to geopolitical pressure at critical maritime chokepoints, from the Strait of Hormuz and Red Sea to the Malacca and Taiwan Straits. At the same time, tariffs and sanctions are adding to the costs and contractual implications when cargo is delayed or rerouted. 

Following on from the themes raised in the keynote presentation, this discussion will explore how cargo owners, EPCs, carriers and forwarders are responding to these shifts.
