Arun Sharma, executive chairman of the Indian register of shipping (IRClass), has been formally introduced as the new chairman of the international association of classification societies (IACS).

 

In his first speech in the role, Sharma outlined the main challenges faced by the shipping industry, most notably the key environmental regulatory issues including the sulphur cap and the fast paced technological innovations which are radically altering the way shipping companies are interacting with each other.
