We will be returning to our popular hot topics session to feature issues that are topical at the time of the Miami conference. Topics may include: cyber security in the shipping industry and risk management of same, the current sanction regimes, recent highlights in courts or new important legislation in different jurisdictions; and/or focus on specific shipping sectors such as cruise industry which is very important in Miami. This session’s speakers will largely be drawn from younger and/or newer members of the IBA Maritime and Transport Law Committee, taking advantage of the opportunity to introduce them to other Committee members.
