Frustration and Force Majeure: When Charterparties Hit Breaking Point – with Skuld

When charterparty agreements took centre stage, 100+ maritime professionals followed!

Skuld’s annual event just keeps getting better – in fact, this was one of the biggest events we’ve ever held.

This year’s hot topic? Force Majeure and Frustration in charterparties – when, how, and why?

The event began with a warm welcome and introduction from Thea Thorstensen.

Followed by Skuld’s leading claims experts, Sylvie Allen, Assistant Vice President, Claims Lawyer; and Nikolai Ivanov, Vice President, Head of Freight, Demurrage & Defence, who delivered a masterclass on navigating contractual uncertainty.

After a lively Q&A, the evening continued with Skuld’s now-legendary annual quiz expertly run by Peter Ward. Congratulations to our winners:

🥇 Gavin Lancaster – taking home a bottle of fine whiskey
🥈 Alejandro García Caparrós – winning a thermos
🥉 Nicolas Juge – winning a North Face bag

A huge thank you to Skuld for their continued support; to Peter Ward for organising another fantastic event; and to our brilliant speakers, Sylvie and Nikolai, for making complex legal concepts so engaging.
