In shipping, disruption is not new.

But what’s happening now is different.

  • This is not one crisis.

  • Not one war.

  • Not one policy shift.

👉 It is a system-wide transition.

A world where:

  • Stability is no longer the default

  • Power is shifting — politically, economically, technologically

  • And predictability… is disappearing

According to Eurasia Group’s 2026 Top Risks report, led by Ian Bremmer, we are entering a tipping point year — with ~60 active conflicts globally, the highest since World War II.

For shipping, this changes everything.

  • 1️⃣ The world is no longer stable

  • 2️⃣ Global trade is fragmenting into blocs

  • 3️⃣ Energy is becoming a geopolitical weapon

  • 4️⃣ AI is scaling faster than governance

  • 5️⃣ Europe is weakening — and it matters

  • 6️⃣ Conflict is the baseline

  • 🧭 Maritime Analytica Insight


1️⃣ The world is no longer stable

The biggest risk is not China.

Not Russia.
