Lecture by Jean-Emmanuel Sauvée at the Sorbonne
On 3 December 2025, the Deep Blue welcomed Jean-Emmanuel Sauvée, President of theAcadémie de marine, former President of Armateurs de France and co-founder of Compagnie Ponant, to theUniversité Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne for a lecture entitled ‘The remarkable journey of a sailor who became an academician’.
In a lively and accessible discussion, Jean-Emmanuel Sauvée reflected on his career and the major changes taking place in the maritime sector. The discussion focused in particular on the challenges of decarbonising maritime transport, the evolution of the sector’s economic models, and the challenges relating to the attractiveness of maritime careers and the recruitment of young seafarers.
Deep Blue extends its warmest thanks to Jean-Emmanuel Sauvée for this opportunity to exchange views and share his experiences, which is fully in line with the think tank’s mission to foster public debate on maritime issues within the academic community.
