With increasing complexities in maritime trade, marine insurers must navigate a wide landscape of claims related to cargo, hull, pollution, personal injury, war, international regulations and contractual liabilities. Charterers are at the centre of the shipping operation and face significant exposure from multiple directions. Therefore, loss prevention in charterers’ liability is not only about minimizing claims – it is about understanding where risks originate from and taking proactive steps to mitigate them.
In this webinar, Danielle Hofmans, Manager Claims at Charterama will discuss key risk factors in charterers’ liability, highlighting the common pitfalls in charterparties, the risks associated with different cargo types, the impact of poor vessel vetting and the evolving challenges of sanctions compliance and environmental regulations. She will look at real-world case studies and offer practical insights to provide a better understanding on:
• the most frequent claims in charterers’ liability and how they can be prevented;
• critical charterparty clauses that impact liability and insurance coverage;
• the role of vessel selection, sanctions compliance, and operational due diligence.
As always, participants have an opportunity to ask questions. The discussion will be moderated by Lucien Lesuis, Managing Director and Co-Founder of Charterama.
