Join us for this seminar, in conjunction with Hong Kong Maritime Week.
The seminar and our panelists will provide an overview of the challenges businesses face in managing regulatory and reputational risks associated with "dark fleets" - vessels that try to avoid sanctions and other trade restrictions.
Attendees will gain insights to strengthen their compliance programs and reduce exposure to sanctions violations and other legal and financial risks posed by dark fleet operations.
