Last week, Emirates Shipping Association Vice Chairman Salah Sharaf and General Manager Huma Qureshi attended the International Chamber of Shipping-led summit and Annual Board Meeting held in Montreal, Canada. The summit, titled “Shaping the Future of Shipping - Weathering the Storms: Global Trade-Risk and Resilience in an Age of Disruption” featured welcome remarks by Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada. The summit addressed the critical challenges facing the shipping industry, including geopolitical turbulence, trade barriers, and climate change. Highlights included a plenary session on global trade in an age of disruption and roundtables on risk and resilience, future trade flows, and climate-mediated risks. One of the days included a visit to the Port de Montreal / Port of Montréal, a vital hub for international trade handling over 40 million tonnes of cargo annually and connecting to more than 140 countries worldwide. This visit provided valuable insights into the port’s operations and its role in global trade resilience.
