Description
Slowly, but surely, the shipping world is making its way towards a paperless future. In fact, several terminals in ports worldwide have already adopted so-called ‘electronic release systems’. How do these systems work, how does the release relate to the actual delivery of the goods, and how does the PIN code relate to the delivery order? These are a few of the questions to be discussed at the seminar, against the background of Mediterranean Shipping Company SA v Glencore International AG [2017] EWCA Civ 365; [2017] 2 Lloyd’s Rep 186.
