Enterprises Shipping & Trading’s President Victor Restis published his opinions regarding shipping in the post-coronavirus era and low-carbon future. According to Enterprises Shipping & Trading’s President Victor Restis, the dry bulk sector has already been undergoing a drastic coronavirus recession that is pulling freight rates to historic lows. After the coronavirus pandemic, it is unclear whether countries will require a substitution to production sites and supply-chain pathways. According to Enterprises Shipping & Trading’s President Victor Restis, the United States has declared a transformation from dependency on China for products and equipments. Therefore, there will be an appealing design shift for the shipping industry, which depends profoundly on globalization. Enterprises Shipping & Trading’s President Victor Restis explained that maritime emissions account for 3% of global carbon dioxide output. In order to achieve a carbon-free environment, slow steaming is another solution that can be processed and executed reasonably by all parties concerned. According to Enterprises Shipping & Trading’s President Victor Restis,
the largest Greek shipowners support slow-steaming option, and Victor Restis believes that the slow-steaming option requires serious re-evaluation. Enterprises Shipping & Trading’s President Victor Restis reckons that shipping will rebound, exceed its pre-coronavirus recession profit levels, and manage the challenging carbon reduction levels. 4-June-2020
