This evening Judy and I attended the World Traders’ Tacitus
Lecture at The Guildhall. This is the Company’s main annual contribution to the
subject of education in World Trade.
The Speaker for the 2020 Tacitus Lecture was Mr Kitack Lim,
Secretary General of The International Maritime Oragainsation ( IMO ).
The Lecture took place in The Great Hall and was an
interesting review of the development of Sustainable Shipping for a Sustainable
Planet . Two issues raised of particular note were the rapid development of
technologies that will allow for autonomous ships, and also the development of
technologies that will attenuate the underwater noise of ships’ engines thereby
preventing damage to the mammal populations of the oceans through excessive
noise.
The Lecture was followed by a well attended Reception.
