Quadrant Chambers is delighted to be supporting London International Shipping Week for the third time. We will once again be holding our series of three LISW legal breakfast forums. This year, we anticipate the events will be running as a hybrid with a reduced in-person audience at Quadrant House. Please register for each event via Zoom where there is an option to indicate if you would like to attend in person. In person places will be confirmed separately.

Simon Rainey QC, Gemma Morgan and Peter Stevenson from Quadrant, were delighted to be joined by Andrew Preston, founding partner of Preston Turnbull. The panel considered the BIMCO clauses which have been introduced to address new risks faced by the shipping sector. In particular, they consider the clauses in relation to automatic identification system (AIS) switch off, Covid crew change and just in time (JIT) arrival clauses as well as the cyber security clauses 2019. The clauses will provide the background to a discussion of the practical situations that arise for parties.
