| Course content and
structure |
|
Although the element of risk remains inherent in all industries,
especially agents in the shipping sector are faced with
substantial business risks in the international environment that
they operate. Risk emanate from fluctuations in e.g. freight rates,
bunker prices, or ship prices as well from the choice of contract
during ship operation, finance and credit terms. The volatility and
risk involved in ownership and operation of ships has become quite
important in recent years as stakes are higher for owners,
operators and investors.
This elective is built around several main themes, which
initially provides an overview of the legal and economic risks in
the shipping sector and identifies how an understanding of the
interconnection between thesee two domains can create value. During
the course the students will analyze and discuss different legal
and economic risk issues and relevant strategies for companies,
including practical solutions.
The two main lecturers in this course are experienced practitioners
from the shipping sector. The course is especially relevant for
students who want to develop and strengthen their competence
profile towards the shipping sector.
