Shipping needs to speak with a stronger voice if it is to learn from the lessons of the coronavirus pandemic, according to a panel of Greek shipowners.
The sector's response to the crewing crisis had been "disappointing" and demonstrates that shipping remains a fragmented industry, said Jerry Kalogiratos, chief executive of Capital Product Partners.
Speaking at a virtual Capital Link Shipping Forum on Wednesday, he said stakeholders had "kind of dropped the ball" by failing to resolve the issue of stranded crew.
