Along with two distinguished London Arbitrators, over 60 senior delegates from globally recognized shipping companies were in audience. In the seminar the latest maritime Arbitration standards on Speed and Consumption disputes were explained by speakers (Mr. Jonathan Lux and David Martin-Clark) and it was confirmed that Weathernews ship Performance Auditing Reports are fully in line with these standards.

As part of its Total Fleet Management Service, Weathernews is promoting Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR) methods such as Mediation, which are designed to promote quick and fair settlements for disputes in the shipping industry. Results from such Mediations in the past have been extremely successful with both parties being in control of the dispute and walking away with relationships preserved.

The seminar provided an invaluable opportunity to attendees to meet each other and discuss important issues affecting ship operations now. Weathernews extends its sincerest thanks to all attendees including Mr. Jonathan Lux and David Martin-Clark.
