The annual ICS Maritime Barometer is a tool for evaluating current trends, risk and confidence in the maritime industry at a national and international level, and to glean valuable insights into important issues from maritime leaders that are shaping the future of the industry. The ICS Maritime Barometer report provides vital information on maritime industry trends and emerging issues for those developing business strategies or formulating the shipping policies and priorities that drive private and public sector decision-making.

The ICS kindly requests that members take the ICS Maritime Barometer Survey 2025-2026 so they can gain insights into what is keeping them up at night and to help to shape the future of our industry and to ensure your region is represented.

As with the previous years, the survey is anonymised and uses a multiple-choice question format and can be found here. The ICS is seeking responses from maritime leaders who hold C-suite-level or C-suite-equivalent roles to take part in this survey. The final ICS Maritime Barometer report will be published to coincide with the ICS AGM in Rome and will be available for all members to use.

The deadline for completion is 27 February 2026.

The ICS thanks you for your support. If you have any queries please contact, Katerina Dimitropoulos, Head of Communications at info@ics-shipping.org
