Ukraine Issues

Unfortunately and sadly, armed conflict has broken out in Ukraine. The situation is very fluid and fast moving but it will inevitably have a significant impact on shipping and trade, giving rise to contractual issues under charterparties and other commercial agreements.

We will publish updates and general guidance to assist our Members in relation to the developing situation and the issues arising.  However, it is recommended that Members contact the Club for specific advice should issues arise under their particular contracts.
