How does a force majeure clause in a shipbuilding contract work?

What did we learn about force majeure during the COVID pandemic?

There is no one-size-fits-all formula, and much depends on whether there are specific provisions to address such an extraordinary situation.

This 15+15 webinar aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of use of the force majeure clause in shipbuilding - from its basic principles to its practical applications. By exploring the legal concepts, we hope to equip you with valuable insights that will allow you to anticipate and manage an unforeseeable and uncontrollable force majeure event.

  • The drafting of a contract

  • The effect of successfully invoking a force majeure

  • Common qualifications and the “but for” principle

  • Builder’s or Buyer’s friend

  • Lessons from the COVID pandemic


Join this 15+15 where Ronin Zong, Partner at Wikborg Rein, will present and then answer your questions in the Q&A section.
