Geopolitics, Global Trade, and Credit Risk


Join us for a focused webinar examining how shifting trade policies, security pressures, and operational volatility translate into creditworthiness for port operators worldwide.

Our panel will discuss rising geopolitical tensions, expected changes in port trading volumes, and the implications for revenue stability, capital expenditure plans, and leverage. The discussion will also explore how these dynamics are playing out across key regions globally and what lies ahead as we look toward 2026.
