Community Lunch
Why do maritime parties opt for arbitration… or avoid it?
Legal, commercial and insurance perspectives on dispute resolution in the shipping industry.
What do you do as a shipowner if the charterer withholds USD 1.5 million in freight? Initiate arbitration straight away, negotiate or settle? During this talk, Kristel de Jong (MSIG Specialty) and Niels van der Noll (UNUM arbitration & mediation) will highlight the pros and cons of arbitration, mediation, court proceedings and negotiation in the shipping sector. They will explore the legal landscape, the role of contracts, and the practical considerations faced by parties and their insurers.
In addition to the example of the shipowner and charterer, other real-life examples will certainly be discussed.
Through interactive polls, real-life examples and a group discussion, you will discover how parties deal with disputes and which strategies best suit your situation.
