GEOMAR Highlights as Bronze Sponsor at Malakut Trade Forum in Dubai

Dubai, 12 November 2025 – GEOMAR Maritime Consultants & Surveyors was proud to support and attend the first-ever Malakut Trade Forum in Dubai. As a Bronze Sponsor, our team joined industry leaders from the finance, insurance, and trade sectors to discuss how to keep global commerce running smoothly and securely.

The forum brought together top leaders in trade, finance, and insurance to tackle the complex challenges shaping global commerce. GEOMAR’s sponsorship and presence underscored our critical role in protecting trade assets from the port to the financial contract.

Focusing on the Real-World Risk

A core focus of the forum was the key discussion, "Receivables Under Pressure: How to Safeguard What You Are Owed." 

GEOMAR emphasized how our independent, reliable surveying and inspection services—from cargo quality checks to vessel condition reports—provide the trusted, impartial data necessary for financial institutions and insurers to confidently assess and mitigate commodity and supply chain risks.

Bridging Ship, Shore, and Finance

The event was a powerful platform for GEOMAR to connect directly with key decision-makers in the global trade ecosystem. Key discussions centered on:

• The Pillars of Future Trade

  
  

  The Forum was structured around four critical panel discussions, each addressing an essential component of trade resilience:

  • Hacking the Supply Chain: Experts explored how the industry can build resilience and protect logistics networks against the evolving threat of cyber-attacks and digital vulnerabilities.

    
    

  • Receivables Under Pressure: This crucial panel focused on the protection of payments and trade financing, discussing tools like credit insurance to safeguard against risk of default.

    
    

  • Trade Finance Reimagined: Discussions covered innovation in financial structures to unlock capital and ensure easier access to liquidity for cross-border transactions, emphasizing modernization and efficiency.
