New ICS Chair Denholm Inherits an Industry on Edge as Geopolitical Risk Dominates Survey

John Denholm has been elected chairman of the International Chamber of Shipping, succeeding Emanuele Grimaldi. The ICS released its Maritime Barometer 2025-2026 survey, based on 185 responses, which identifies geopolitical instability as the top risk for the fourth consecutive year, followed by cyber attacks and regional regulations. The survey also highlights a pragmatic approach to decarbonisation, with LNG and biofuels seen as the most viable near-term fuel options.
