Partner Feature Event

14 January 2026

Date: 8th January 2026
Location: Zoom Webinar

The Beyond the Bridge webinar series examines the key challenges facing shipowners and operators in the near to medium term, with a focus on sustainability, regulation, and evolving commercial risk. Each session brings together legal and industry experts to share practical insights on emerging trends and developments shaping maritime operations.

Episode 2 will feature Charlotte Knight, Partner at WFW Dubai, and James Lehmann, Associate, who will lead a focused discussion on charterparties, recent case law, and important contractual updates. The session will cover newly introduced or revised BIMCO clauses, how geopolitical events can affect charterparty performance, the importance of counterparty due diligence, and the latest legal developments under the Hague-Visby Rules.

This webinar is a repeat of the Maritime Insights in-person breakfast seminar held in Dubai on 19th November and offers an opportunity for those who could not attend to access the same expert commentary.
