As part of its ongoing commitment to fostering growth within the Nigerian maritime sector, Olisa Agbakoba Legal (OAL) is collaborating with the Nigerian Chamber of Shipping (NCS) to host a comprehensive training program. This initiative aims to elevate the understanding and expertise of stakeholders in various aspects of maritime law and shipping operations.

The primary goal of the proposed training program is to provide essential knowledge and insights into the fundamental aspects of law and shipping. By targeting a diverse range of maritime stakeholders, including marine insurers, arbitrators, ship owners, brokers, seafarers, academics, lawyers, and law graduates, the program seeks to address the specific information needs of each participant group.

The “Fundamentals of Law and Shipping” training program represents a significant opportunity for maritime stakeholders to enhance their understanding of key legal and operational aspects within the industry.
