In 2018, The Centre for Enterprise Liability, Faculty of Law, University of Copenhagen and Centre for Maritime Law, Faculty of Law, National University of Singapore, co-organised a conference on ‘Maritime Management Organisation and Liability’ (26 to 27 November 2018). The event was hosted by University of Copenhagen.

Abstract

Digitalization in general and other technological advances, such as blockchain and autonomous ships, are expected to have a major impact on the shipping industry. This may change how the industry is organized, how document and data flows are managed, and impact core questions affecting the distribution of risk and liability.
Increased awareness surrounding the possibilities of the shipping industry to find sustainable business models may give rise to questions about the extent to which management in shipping companies can and must include such considerations.

The collaboration has since led to the publication of the book, Maritime Organisation, Management and Liability, A Legal Analysis of New Challenges in the Maritime Industry , edited by Professor Stephen Girvin (NUS) and Professor Vibe Ufbeck (Copenhagen).

This project has concluded.
