Introduction
Program
Which comes first: the egg or the hen?
17:30
Do we start from commodity production and its trading or from the transport and
logistics of those goods if we want to set up a successful business?
Shipping and logistics are mere ancillary to the trading industry or viceversa?
Are these two sectors’ operators - carriers from one side, shippers from the other
side - always fair partners on an equal basis in all circumstances or do they better
stay in a clear hierarchic relationship as customer and supplier?
For a commodity trader and/or producer is it more recommended to outsource
transport services, to minimize relevant costs and risks; or, on the contrary, to
invest in those assets in order to keep a better control on this vital function?
These are some of the main questions that the Round Table aims at debating with
the help of some qualified panelists, each one representing (at least) one
category of the whole supply chain: trader, shipowner, shipmanager,
shipbroker, shipagent, financier, lawyer, insurer…
