Global trade at risk from emerging 'two-tier' maritime system · 1 source tracked

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Shipping authorities from 18 nations have warned of a developing "two-tier" maritime trade system, driven by geopolitical tensions and protectionist policies. This bifurcated system would separate legitimate, rule-abiding vessels from "shadow fleets" that operate with opacity, potentially imperiling global trade which accounts for 80-90% of world commerce. The Consultative Shipping Group (CSG) highlighted that such a division could lead to supply chain fragmentation and a halt in the global economy, with illegitimate fleets posing risks to safety, the environment, and fair competition.
