Industry challenges

Around 80 members of the maritime industry from the Middle East and India attended a seminar hosted by North P&I Club on some of the most pressing challenges facing the industry. The event focused on the practical and legal implications of the changing sanctions regime imposed on Iran and the global fuel sulphur cap being introduced on 1 January 2020. North’s global director of underwriting Savraj Mehta opened the event, saying: “The maritime industry has changed considerably in recent years and North P&I Club is no different.”
