Event Agenda Sessions

When disruption hits: Risk and responsibility in project cargo delivery

Geopolitical disruption, sudden route changes, war risk exposure and port delays are putting project cargo contracts under intense pressure. When a vessel is rerouted, insurance terms change or a project misses its delivery window, who carries the cost and accountability?

This session brings together project owners, carriers, insurers and legal specialists to examine the wide-ranging impacts of disruption on project delivery. The panel will explore where responsibility can become unclear, how ambiguous agreements can leave EPCs exposed to additional cost, and how better-defined terms between stakeholders can reduce disputes when plans change.
