    Lunch With Lars: The Final Word

    Perhaps no other global shipping analyst has as broad and progressive a lens as Lars Jensen. Since 2018, the former Maersk executive, shipping entrepreneur, author, and, most recently, Vespucci Maritime founder has closed out TPM with his short-, medium- and long-term vision of what is next for the global containerized shipping market, whether it be the next wave of technology, aggressive zero-emission shipping targets, or provider-shipper relationships. Returning again this year to his closing TPM slot, Lars will offer his perspective of what the latest cycle of disruption means for the future of container shipping.
