Ashok Srinivasan, BIMCO's Regional Manager and Technical Advisor, will speak on the panel: "Empowering the Next Generation: Youth Engagement & Talent Development in Maritime."
He will present his perspective on how we can better bridge the gap between shipboard reality and regulatory necessity to build a robust talent pipeline.
As a former seafarer, he offers a crucial, practical understanding of life at sea, the core skills needed, and the challenges faced by crew.
His role at BIMCO involves navigating the regulatory affairs landscape, giving him a unique perspective on how international rules (decarbonisation, digitalisation, etc.) are creating new demands and unprecedented career paths for young professionals.
