The world watched as the grounding of the Ever Given in the Suez Canal played out. In a 2-part Quadcast Shipping Special, we review the consequences and legal implications of a major maritime incident of this type.

In session 1, Nigel Cooper QC, Chirag Karia QC, James M Turner QC and Ruth Hosking considered what happens following a grounding, including salvage, general average and the liabilities between owners and charterers. 

The panels have considerable collision and grounding experience including a major incident in the Suez in 2018.
