Shipping Finance

The Shipping Industry is currently undergoing one of its largest economic and financial crises of recent memory due to the turmoil brought on by the credit crunch, the glut in the number of ships currying goods, and more recently the Hanjin collapse and its subsequent effect in the sector.

It is under these circumstances that prudent and careful financial and investment decisions need to be made in order to not only survive the turbulence, but to thrive and expand in this era of opportunities.

The seminar will dissect and analyse the complex economic landscape of finance and law within maritime operations. This seminar will provide a roadmap to accessing and releasing finance for improved shipping operations in the post-recession shipping industry, as well as the relevant Legal Environment. It ensures ship operators and owners understand what they can do to make their finances and operations work harder, smarter and more effectively

This Course is addressed to

The seminar can be attended by shipowners and CEOs, Treasurers and CFOs, managing directors, ship operators, ship managers, chartering managers, operations managers, charterers, shipbrokers, accountants, financial analysts, shipping fund investors, Lawyers, Legal Practitioners, as well as postgraduate students who wish to join the sector
