The Lloyd’s List Podcast: Here’s what we think 2023 is going to look like

It's a tough gig making predictions, especially about the future – but it’s that time of year where bold editorials types like to breathe deep the festive spirits, polish their crystal balls, embrace their inner Pythian oracle to offer their predictions for the year ahead. As is now traditional, the Lloyd’s List editorial team have gathered around the microphone this week for their annual forecasting session, guided by regular Lloyd’s List Podcast host and editor, Richard Meade. This year’s outlook edition features predictions on the swing factors in tankers, the pivotal role of China and Ukraine, the state of the orderbook, union battles and of course the ever sexy world of marine insurance. This year’s edition features the dulcet tones of: • Michelle Wiese Bockmann, our markets editor • Richard Clayton, our chief correspondent • Nigel Lowry, our Greece correspondent • Rob Wilmington, our data and fleet specialist • Tomer Raanan, our man in the US • Cichen Shen, our Asia editor in Hong Kong • Bridget Diakun, our data Queen and Ukraine expert • And David Osler, our law and insurance editor
