In the PCP Christmas Special, a group of senior project cargo professionals sit down with host Luke King to reflect on a turbulent 2025 — and look ahead to what 2026 may bring for the heavy lift and project cargo sector.

Over good food and candid discussion, the group touches on:

1. Market volatility, geopolitics and regulatory pressure
2. Fleet development, capacity and the role of specialist tonnage
3. Tariffs, compliance and rising customer expectations
4. The growing importance of partnerships over price-only decisions
5. Why attracting young talent matters more than ever
6. Why companies should to “open their hearts and minds” to all
7. What the industry should leave behind in 2025 — and what gives cause for optimism next year

It’s thoughtful, honest and occasionally heart-warming — the kind of conversation that usually only happens after the cameras stop rolling.

• Aditya “Adi” Menon, commercial director, Blue Bell Shipping
