August 19, 2026 Date:Sep 17, 2026 Time:10:00 am BST Register to reserve your place. Already have an account? The shipping industry is navigating one of its most turbulent periods in decades. Geopolitical conflicts in the Strait of Hormuz, Red Sea, and Black Sea have claimed lives, injured crew members, and disrupted global trade. Piracy in the Gulf of Guinea continues to threaten vessels, while rerouting, soaring fuel and insurance costs, and freight volatility add to the strain. Yet, amid these challenges, the welfare of seafarers — those on the front lines — is too often absent from commercial charter contracts. Crews face dangers ranging from armed attacks to prolonged isolation, with lasting impacts on safety, security, and mental health. In this exclusive Seatrade Maritime News webinar, leading commercial, crewing, and legal experts will explore how the industry can embed crew safety, rights, and welfare into charter agreements as a standard, not an afterthought. Key discussion points: Integrating seafarer safety clauses into charter contracts Addressing security, repatriation, and mental health in conflict zones Balancing commercial imperatives with human responsibility Moderated by Marcus Hand, Editor of Seatrade Maritime News, and featuring speakers Punit Oza, CCO at FrontM, and Krishnan Subramanian, International Chairman of the Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers, this session will offer practical insights for shipowners, charterers, and maritime professionals committed to protecting those who keep global trade moving.
