Join us on March 8th 17:30-19:00 for the “Russian Sanctions, Price Cap and the Maritime Industry” panel discussion, a co-hosted by Maritime London and Watson Farley & Williams event, which will be held at WFW London office in 15 Appold Street, EC2A 2HB. If you would like to attend please use this link to register.

The panel will discuss some of the challenges and risks that have been posed to the maritime industry in attempting to comply with the regime.

On 5 December 2022, the long-awaited Russian oil price cap measures and related sanctions came into effect. It is no surprise that these measures are heavily focused on the maritime industry. Policymakers have long recognised the central role of shipping in international trade, and therefore used sanctions affecting shipping (through insurance, financing, etc.) when they wished to limit, or sanction, trade. However, none of this is likely to lessen some of the challenges posed by the regime, and it seems clear that regulators, market participants and their advisers have already been grappling with some of the issues.

17:30 – Registration
18:00 – Panel discussion
19:00 – Drinks reception

Introduction presented by:
Simon Kavanagh, Partner & Mary Mackintosh, General Counsel, Watson Farley & Williams

Panel will include:

• David Bolomini, Senior Policy Advisor, International Group of P&I Clubs
• Stephen Fewster, Global Head, Shipping Finance, ING Bank
• George Macheras, Global Maritime Sector Co-Head, Watson Farley & Williams
• Sandra Rosignoli, Group General Counsel and Head of Compliance, H. Clarkson & Company Limited

Norton Rose Fulbright is delighted to invite you to the launch of ‘UK Domestic Shipping: Mobilising Investment in Net Zero’, a report produced by Marine Capital Ltd with the support of the UMAS and Lloyd’s Register, to be held on Wednesday, January 11, 2023 at 17:30 at the offices of Norton Rose Fulbright

Billed as one of the most comprehensive studies of the UK domestic maritime sector to date, the report states that approximately £75bn of investment is required over the coming three decades for the UK’s domestic maritime sector to transition to net zero. Attracting new sources of capital will be key to the industry’s energy transition.

Join us for the launch to hear from Tony Foster of Marine Capital as he presents the findings of the study, an assessment of the appropriate measures and structures that could be applied to our national maritime sector and the lessons that can be learnt from comparative regimes, including initiatives such as Green Corridors.

With the report already attracting considerable press activity and discussion, we anticipate this to be a lively and interesting session.

16:00 Arrivals & Refreshments
16:15 Seminar starts
17:45 Seminar ends. Drinks will be served in the Mall Room.

Title: What does an increasingly polarised world mean for shipping?

Focus: Shipping is a uniquely international and pragmatic industry. However, as the far-reaching sanctions against Russia have demonstrated, shipping is not immune from the geopolitical uncertainty. As the international landscape becomes more fractious, how will shipping interests adapt? And what effect this will have on shipping clusters? This seminar will explore the current geopolitical risk environment and the potential shipping clusters can work more closely to develop shared understanding.

In-person attendance is for dinner guests only, with limited capacity of 60 maximum, so places will be allocated on the first-come-first-served basis.

The seminar will be broadcast via Zoom to NYMAR members in the US and also Maritime London members not attending the dinner. Register using this link .

With the transition to net zero, electric vehicles are set to become the dominant form of transport globally. But in comparison to other forms of transport, what are the issues faced for the increased use and carriage of lithium-ion batteries? And what are the impacts when these batteries fail, particularly when transported by sea. This discussion will highlight the practical and legal implications.

• Lithium-Ion batteries, their construction and what causes their failure that could result in Thermal Runaway.
• What is thermal runaway and what gases are being produced when this occurs.
• Do ship’s crews have the necessary means to deal with a thermal runaway incident if it occurs on board?
• Can crews follow normal firefighting procedures in Ro-Pax, PCTC and HSC types of vessels and other considerations such as means of escape and LSA?
• Whether EVs are “dangerous goods”
• What carriers/ shipowners must do to make the ship seaworthy
• Whether the presence of EVs in itself renders the ship unseaworthy for other cargo

There are a limited number of places available to attend in-person at Quadrant House. All registrations are via zoom, please indicate on the registration form if you would like to attend in-person, and your place will be confirmed separately.

Co-organised by Maritime London and GMS, this webinar will explore current and future market conditions, the drivers, hurdles and options for shipowners with vintage assets, and the role of responsible recycling in decarbonisation. Register here https://event.webinarjam.com/register/56/5ox9zhno

The shipping industry is enjoying a few days in the sun, but could soon be facing a perfect storm. With the current market conditions leading to ships trading longer, an influx of newbuilds coming onto the market in the next few years, the CII potentially making older vessels uneconomic, all of this on top of demands for sustainable recycling of vessels, we can no longer ignore demolition in the decarbonisation dynamic.

Following the good tradition to hold a seminar before the Annual Dinner, this year’s event will look at trends for 2022. The seminar is open to all dinner quests. If there’s room we will offer spaces to members not attending the dinner. The seminar will be followed by a drinks reception, and then the Annual Dinner at 19:30 (NB: the dinner is sold out).

FOCUS: With dry bulk and gas trades flying high and the box ship market in the stratosphere, there is no doubt shipping has been on a journey since some of the doomsday predictions of 18  months ago as the scale of the pandemic became clear. This year’s Maritime London Annual Dinner Seminar will explore how much of the current growth is underpinned by government stimulus, short-term pent-up demand and supply chain disruption, and whether, as order books fill up, the industry is setting itself up for another fall as additional tonnage comes on line. In addition, the panel will discuss how the wider market, from insurance to finance, is responding to such unprecedented market conditions. Let’s hope we all have something to cheer about at the dinner!

Held in conjunction with London International Shipping Week 2021, Norton Rose Fulbright and Maritime London look forward to welcoming you to a panel discussion on the potential impact of the proposal to include the shipping industry in the EU’s Emissions Trading System (EU ETS).

The extension of the EU ETS to include shipping is part of a number of proposed updates by the EU to its green deal which were published on 14th July 2021. The proposals envisage the shipping industry becoming incrementally subject to the EU ETS, with shipowners having to surrender allowances annually to cover increasing proportions of their greenhouse gas emissions.

Since 2020 the pandemic has resulted in most arbitration hearings being conducted fully or semi-virtually online, for which the LMAA has published widely used protocols, now included in the LMAA Terms 2021.

The event will enable participants to view a hearing involving a typical maritime case scenario, including oral submissions by experienced barristers from leading chambers 4 Pump Court and Twenty Essex with cross examination of witnesses who will give oral evidence remotely. There will also be an opportunity for participants to raise questions on the process to be answered by practitioners on or off line.

The event will therefore give participants a real insight into the way in which London arbitrators and lawyers have been able to use technology to overcome  the constraints of the pandemic and also to reduce cost and advance towards truly green arbitration.

The Sea to City project from Nautilus International and Maritime London is a networking and mentoring scheme aiming to encourage seafarers looking to move ashore to consider maritime services positions.

The maritime professional services sector has a constant requirement for seafaring skills in order to remain effective. However, many seafarers are unaware of the career choices that exist ashore and how to access them.

The Sea to City Networking Scheme event, held as part of the London International Shipping Week 2021, will provide a platform for maritime services professionals and seafarers to meet and discuss the opportunities that exist for former seafarers in maritime services and help those at sea to make links into the networks that will help them succeed.

This is a hybrid event, taking place in-person at the offices of Norton Rose Fulbright LLP for a select, invite-only physical audience coupled with a live video stream to the Hopin platform.

Online Attendees will have the opportunity to ask Speakers questions via the Q&A function, interact with other Attendees via Chat and Direct Messaging, engage in 1-2-1 Networking as well as visit Expo booths.

The Law Commission of England and Wales is a statutory, independent body, which aims to ensure that the law is as fair, modern, simple and cost-effective as possible. On the basis of research and consultation with stakeholders, the Law Commission makes recommendations for reform to Government. In 2020 the Law Commission was asked by Government to consider how the law of England and Wales should be reformed to facilitate the digitisation of trade documentation including bills of lading, ship’s delivery orders and cargo insurance certificates. On 30th April 2021 it published a consultation paper which outlined its research, proposals for reform and a draft Bill designed to implement those proposals. Responses to this consultation were due by 30th July 2021, and the Law Commission is aiming to publish its final report and recommendations in early 2022.

At this event, Law Commissioner for Commercial and Common Law, Prof Sarah Green, and her team will give an overview of the proposals together with some insight into the responses received from stakeholders. This will be followed by a panel discussion featuring legal practitioners discussing the effects of the proposed reforms and industry participants who will give insight into the possible implications of the reforms for their daily operations.

This will be a hybrid event, held physically for a limited audience at Quadrant Chambers and streamed live to online attendees.

This live and interactive webinar, organised by Maritime London in partnership with members MDS Transmodal Ltd, will discuss the changes in the global deep-sea container market. The topics will include:

• Long term trade growth and the erratic trends of the last 12 months which led to a Q4 2020 demand 5% more than any other previous quarter
• Slow growth in liner service capacity so that utilisation levels are now very high
• Deteriorating service quality (reliability, port calls completed) as demand has led to port congestion and ships being off schedule
• A major spike in rates, exacerbated by a lack of equipment (i.e. containers) in major export areas (empties now having been returned earlier in the year)
• A wider reflection on the role of liner shipping on creating connectivity between trading countries
• Trends in carbon emissions
• Increasing concentration in the control and ownership of liner service capacity
