Interlegal Online Conference Shipping & Trade day – COVID 19

ONLINE CONFERENCE SHIPPING & TRADE DAY

December 9 Start: 11.00 CET 

The spread of COVID-19 has become one of the biggest threats to the world as we know it. Profound implications have been felt around the world and uncertainty grows on a seemingly daily basis. Interlegal invites shipping & trade professionals to join Online Shipping & Trade Day to discuss how to navigate the implications of COVID-19 upon our industry, how to deal with growing uncertainty and adapt to global changes. At our event we would like to focus on key shipping segments – container ships, dry bulk and oil tankers, ports and terminals, insurers – and also on procedures at courts and arbitration institutions. Everybody was waiting for Force Majeure, “Frustration” Clauses and Ports, Deviation and Quarantine of Ships followed by operational and regulatory compliance. What really happened and what to expect in 2021.
