We are delighted, in conjunction with IMA UK (Indian Maritime Association), to invite you to attend a panel discussion and networking event on Thursday 7 May 2026.
The panel will explore India’s push to become a major shipbuilding nation, alongside the elevated commercial, technical and regulatory risks associated with delivering first‑of‑kind vessels in a new shipbuilding jurisdiction, including where projects may falter and disputes may arise.
Panellists:
- Partner Mike Phillips;
- Counsel Archit Dhir; and
- Knowledge Counsel Joanne Champkins.
If you are tracking the recent developments in the Indian maritime and shipbuilding sector and are keen to explore further, we would be delighted to have you join us.
This event is particularly relevant for:
- shipowners and operators;
- shipyards and marine equipment suppliers;
- ports, terminals and logistics providers; and
- banks, lessors and funds active in maritime and infrastructure.
Let’s build a thoughtful dialogue around where the sector is heading with an exchange of views and insights!
In recognition of India’s National Maritime Day, drinks and canapes will be served following the discussion.
