The conversation will take place against the backcloth of the horrors of war, major geopolitical tensions and the continuing turbulence in the world economy.

Enforcement of Letters of Indemnity, Misdelivery and the Post-Discharge Application of the Hague/Hague-Visby Rules

13/06/2023

Over 60 years ago, Lord Denning reiterated that, “It is perfectly clear law that a shipowner who delivers without production of the bill of lading does so at his peril.”

Nevertheless, practical shipping and banking considerations require shipowners do precisely that every single day. How can shipowners mitigate that peril? To what extent do letters of indemnity protect shipowners in the event of misdelivery claims? Do the Hague/Hague-Visby Rules protections apply to such post-discharge conduct? This seminar will address those questions and the practical issues surrounding the issuance and acceptance of letters of indemnity.

LSLC Webinar: Negotiating contracts: “subject to” conditions and battles of the forms

09/11/2021

Construing what the parties to a contract have agreed is at the heart of what dry shipping lawyers do. But sometimes the question is more fundamental: Has the contract come into effect? If there are two competing sets of terms, which ones apply?

Whilst negotiations to fix a vessel or cargo will likely be contained in emails or other electronic exchanges, lawyers will be better placed to answer these types of question if they understand the process of how brokers and traders go about negotiating such contracts.

LSLC /BIMCO webinar – Decarbonisation & Shipping

21/04/2021

Climate change is a problem affecting everyone, and almost everything. If this common challenge is to be effectively addressed, significant and rapid change is required across all sectors globally. The shipping industry, which produces over a billion tonnes of CO2 emissions annually, is no exception.

Yet how does an industry heavily reliant on fossil fuel transition to being cleaner and greener? Will the change be driven by regulators, stakeholders, or all concerned? Where do the challenges and opportunities lay, and how may relationships need to be adjusted to accommodate change?

In this seminar we explore the shipping industry’s response to climate change, navigating the fast developing landscape of regulation and action and hearing perspectives from regulators, owners and charterers.

LSLC Webinar – The Eternal Bliss

17/03/2021

Demurrage is liquidated damages for a voyage charterer’s breach in failing to complete loading or discharge within the laytime allowed. But does it liquidate all the losses caused by that breach, or can the owners recover damages on top of demurrage in respect of loss of a separate type, distinct from the loss of the future earnings of the vessel caused by the delay?

 In The Bonde Potter J held that the owners can only recover if there is not only loss of a separate type but
also a breach of a separate obligation.
 In The Eternal Bliss
Andrew Baker J has held that a loss of a separate type is
sufficient.
 The Court of Appeal is expected to deal with the issue this year.

Admiralty Procedures

30/11/2016

Admiralty Procedures – Errors, Anomalies and Changes of Course in a Digital Age The Admiralty Court in London has a long and illustrious history as the pre-eminent forum for the resolution of maritime disputes. It is probably the best known and best respected such forum in the World. The Court’s rules and procedures have evolved over the years, decades, and even centuries, as the maritime industry it serves has changed. Now, in the digital age, is further change required? A specialist Court requires specialist rules. Such specialist rules can become divorced from the mainstream, and can stand unscrutinised and unchallenged for long periods. Do the current rules require correction or change? Moreover, such specialist rules can appear arcane and can trip up the unwary as various recent cases have shown – what lessons should be learned?
