November 20, will mark a significant gathering for the maritime and allied sectors as industry leaders convene at the Fairfield by Marriott International Airport, Mumbai, for an exclusive workshop on marine insurance. Titled Navigating Risk, Securing Trade: Practical Mastery in Marine Insurance, the event is organised by Shipping Academic Conferences in association with Marex Media.
At the forefront of this initiative is Mr. Punit Oza, Founder & Director of Maritime NXT and President of the Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers (ICS). Alongside him, a distinguished panel of allied marine sector leaders will ensure delegates benefit from a rare blend of strategic vision and real‑world perspectives.
In an era where global trade is increasingly shaped by geopolitical uncertainty, the workshop will spotlight the most urgent issues facing marine insurers and shipping stakeholders alike. From the rising costs of war risk cover to the complexities of sanctions compliance, the agenda is designed to provide participants with both clarity and practical strategies.
Key focus areas include:
- War Risks Insurance Structure and Market Dynamics – Understanding how conflict zones and shifting alliances reshape underwriting and premiums.
- Sanctions Impact on Marine Insurance – Navigating compliance challenges in a fragmented regulatory environment.
- Piracy and Terrorism Coverage – Assessing evolving threats and the mechanisms available to safeguard vessels, cargo, and crews.
Marine insurance is no longer the sole concern of shipowners and insurers. Its ripple effects extend across the entire maritime ecosystem—logistics providers, port operators, legal advisors, technology partners, and financial institutions all face exposure to the risks shaping today’s trade.
By attending, participants will gain:
- Hands‑on insights into risk allocation and claims management
- Clarity on sanctions compliance and its impact on operations
- Networking opportunities with insurers, brokers, and maritime leaders
- Practical tools to strengthen resilience in volatile markets
As war risks, sanctions, piracy, and terrorism continue to redefine the contours of global shipping, this workshop offers the maritime community a rare opportunity to future‑proof their strategies. For the allied sector, it is not just an invitation—it is a call to actively shape the future of marine risk management.
