Together with the BNCC the Norwegian Shipowners’ Association are pleased to invite all WISTA Norway members to an exclusive breakfast discussion.

Bringing together policymakers, shipping executives, sanctions experts, legal specialists, and maritime industry leaders, to examine the evolving shadow fleet landscape, its impact on maritime security and sanctions policy, and the opportunities for international collaboration to address one of the most pressing challenges facing global shipping today.

These ships of the Shadow Fleet transport sanctioned oil and cargoes while evading insurance requirements, and international maritime standards, raising concerns about geopolitical stability, environmental risks, maritime safety, and the integrity of global trade.

For both Norway and the United Kingdom, two major maritime nations, this issue is becoming increasingly urgent.

Join us for this critical discussion exploring the strategic challenge with direct consequences for our economies, our security, and the future of global shipping.

• British Ambassador to Norway, Jan Thompson
• Eivind Vad Petersson, Deputy Minister, The Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs
