The threats from the sea - law, legitimacy and the shadow fleet in a shifting maritime order

Free seminar: How can we deal with the shadow fleet through legal means, and what does Nordic maritime law have to do with this and the future of the North? Join us for insights from professor Kristina Siig at the Sven-Olof Bodenfors Seminar.
The Baltic and the North Sea have long been arteries of trade, trust and legal order. Today, they are also arenas for geopolitical tension. The emergence of so-called shadow fleets – vessels operating in the grey zones of sanctions, insurance and regulatory compliance – challenges not only international security, but also the integrity of maritime markets.
How can legal tools be used to address these challenges? What role can Nordic maritime law play in safeguarding both commercial predictability and political legitimacy? And how do questions of compliance, reputation and governance shape the future competitiveness of shipping in the North?
At the Sven-Olof Bodenfors Seminar, Professor Kristina Siig will explore how law functions as strategic infrastructure in times of uncertainty – and why maritime law remains central to business development, risk management and the future of the North.

About Sven-Olof Bodenfors and the seminar
At the end of February, we received the news that Sven-Olof Bodenfors had passed away, and this will be the first time the seminar is held without Sven-Olof in the front row. The Sven-Olof Bodenfors Seminar was established as an annual seminar on business development and branding issues at Handelshögskolan in connection with Sven-Olof's 70th birthday in 2016. The seminar is backed by a foundation established by Mannheimer Swartling Advokatbyrå, Wingårdh Arkitekter, Forsman & Bodenfors, Lindberg Glavå mm AB, and others.
