Climate change in shipping 08.11.2021 Climate change in shipping

Last week headlines around the world were dominated by the COP26 summit in Glasgow and statistics about greenhouse gases. Governments were making pledges whilst the biggest emitters, both countries and industries, were being singled out for criticism. Shipping is firmly in the sights of policy makers.

The official listing process will normally be initiated at a kick off meeting where the company’s representatives and their chosen advisors agree a listing timetable and start the due diligence process that confirms the company is in fit shape to become a publicly traded entity. However, a well organised company will already have been working towards this event, probably for at least three months and quite possibly for six or more.

WHERE TO LIST - SELECTING AN EXCHANGE 18.05.2020 WHERE TO LIST - SELECTING AN EXCHANGE

One of the first decisions a company contemplating a listing must make is where to list. Today there are literally hundreds of possible choices. Reputable exchanges exist all over the world and many exchanges now offer two or more possible markets each targeting slightly different participants and investors. This range of choice exists precisely because what is right for one company may not be for another. Although decisions must be tailored to your circumstances, the factors to consider are fairly standard and include the following:
