The panel explored some of the shipping industry's most pressing challenges, including the integration of weather intelligence, commercial decision-making, emissions regulation, contractual incentives, and Just-in-Time arrivals into modern voyage optimisation frameworks. It also highlighted how digital solutions and advanced analytics are reshaping operational and strategic decision-making across the maritime sector.

We were happy to welcome Mr. Sergios Arniakos as a guest speaker in the course unit “Shipping Business Risk Management” of our MSc in ISFM program taught by Professor Manolis Kavussanos.

In his presentation, “Managing Exposure & Risk using Derivatives”, Mr. Arniakos shared valuable insights into the role of derivatives trading, portfolio management, and risk mitigation within the modern shipping industry. Drawing from his extensive experience across both shipping and financial markets, he provided students with a practical perspective on how sophisticated risk management strategies are applied in real-world maritime operations.

Mr. Arniakos currently serves as Head of Trading and Risk for Marla Trading, the dry cargo operating arm of LATSCO Group, overseeing derivatives trading, portfolio management, and risk for a fleet of dry cargo vessels. His impressive professional journey also includes leadership roles at Neptune Lines and Piraeus Securities S.A., as well as experience in London with Knight Capital Group specializing in volatility arbitrage trading.

With an academic background spanning engineering, marine engineering, and finance, Sergios offered a uniquely interdisciplinary approach that resonated strongly with our students.

Thank you for an engaging and insightful session bridging finance, risk management, and shipping operations.
