📄 Free Webinar - China's Updated Maritime Code: Impact on Freight Forwarders

China's Maritime Code has undergone its first comprehensive revision in over 30 years, introducing significant changes that will have a direct bearing on the freight forwarding industry. FIATA invites you to join this free webinar to understand what has changed, why it matters, and how it may affect your operations.

🔷 Mr Yuntao Yang, Chair of the FIATA Advisory Body on Legal Matters (ABLM), will share key amendments to the Maritime Code and their broader implications for freight forwarders.

🔷 Mr Lianjun Li, an experienced maritime lawyer practising in Mainland China and Hong Kong, will follow with practical insights into blocking measures in China, drawing on his hands-on legal experience in the field.

This webinar is particularly relevant for freight forwarders with operations in or exposure to China, and ample time will be set aside for questions and open discussion with the speakers.
