What difference a day makes… what would happen if all the ships stopped for 24 hrs?
Welcome back to Maritime Matters – today I am speaking with Pradeep Chawla, from Anglo Eastern – a ship management company with over 650 ships and a crew pool of 28,000 seafarers.
With stories of resilience, but also of fear and frustration, the effect of border closures on crew change and compassionate leave are having a significant impact on seafarers and maritime professionals ashore.
Pradeep calls for all aspects of the industry to work together to promote the industry and protect these key workers. But, as a ‘forgotten’ industry, how do we highlight the importance of seafaring to the rest of the world? What would happen if all shipping, the complete cargo chain, stopped for 24 or 48 hrs?

What do you think would be the impact on global trade if shipping stopped for 24 hrs? What questions do you have about the maritime industry? Please message me or put your comments below!
