MARDIPLO was pleased to be hosted in the latest podcast by Mr. Punit Oza, FICS, President of the Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers Singapore and Founder of Maritime NXT.
The conversation shifted away from surface-level news to focus on the structural shifts currently redefining global trade. Key takeaways included:
The Root of Disputes: Many commercial maritime disputes with the public sector worldwide, are not legal failures, but failures of early stakeholder engagement, communication, expectation and reputation management, and negotiated deals.
The C-Suite Evolution: There is a growing demand for systems thinking at the executive level. Decision-making must now integrate commercial, geopolitical, legal, and technological risks into a single, unified framework.
The “Chief Geo-Strategic Officer”: A standout concept was the potential emergence of this new executive role to manage the intersection of political risk, sanctions, and supply chain resilience.
Future Readiness: The episode offers practical insights and real cases of employing maritime corporate diplomacy to operate in an increasingly volatile global environment.
We thank Mr. Oza for an intellectually rigorous and engaging exchange on “what next” truly means to seasoned industry leaders and the next generation of maritime professionals.
