Topics that are currently on our agenda includes how the new trade deal between the EU and Japan will affect global shipping, as well as our preparations for Northern Sea Route opportunities, Brexit and how we see the Chinese BRI affecting us.

We also have a multi-billion investment program for new terminals, fairway deepening and more coming the next ten years.
