2026 18th Annual Capital Link Shipping & Marine Services Forum | Dry Bulk Sector

We got one and a half minutes left before Nicolas comes on stage and throws me out.

So one last question, really quick question, because at the end of the day, we want to touch technology very briefly.

What has technology changed in your day-to-day as a manager, as a trader? whether it's on the fleet, whether it's on the information, one thing that you think two years ago you couldn't do?

You're asking me, I was looking that way.

Yeah, it's definitely transformed the way we present information and arrange information internally.

You know, we crunch data, all that sort of thing.

It hasn't had that much of an impact on the way we trade, physically trade assets at the moment, but, you know, that may change.

Clear, clear.

7th of April was the day when we got in our first AI data scientist in the company working for us.

And his mandate is to free up 30% of the time that our senior management spends on urgent matters so they can spend it on important matters.

Thanks.

Very interesting.

Vincent?

We are implementing indeed.

We do a change basically with all the data getting from the ships.

Real data information helps you a lot in, let's say, optimizing your performance of your ships.

Not only that, also planning, maintenance, prevention of problems.

There's so many things AI can help us and that is quickly changing.

Basically that.

And to conclude, thank you, Vincent.

And to conclude, Karim?

It's mainly these platforms that are presenting analytics in a clear and structured way.

So we're using that more and more for our trading and looking how the market develops.

It's been quite revolutionary, actually, in the last six to eight months.

Great.
