LR CEO on UK's Reckless Attitude Towards Its Shipping Industry

Keynote speech by Richard Sadler, CEO Lloyd’s Register, at the annual Donaldson Lecture to the Lloyd’s Market Association.

Since hearing it, I increasingly believe that working out the odds of ensuring consistent prosperity is so difficult that it is more like the game of roulette. In roulette, the odds are designed so that, over time immemorial, the punters will always lose 5.28 cents of every dollar they wager. Let’s hope shipping proves a better bet. As an island society, we are almost totally dependent upon maritime transport for food and energy supplies. Could there be two more critical commodities?
