One of the most significant global issues over the past 10 years is the vast changes in the Arctic region. The world has again turned its attention to the Arctic, this time mainly because of the climate effects in the Arctic, the economic potential of the region, and the geopolitical implications of changes in the Arctic.

The European Maritime Law Organisation, the Royal Danish Naval Academy and the Danish law firm Gorrissen Federspiel host a two-day conference to discuss the many legal and operational issues related to Arctic shipping. The conference will deal with a broad range of topics from search & rescue, environmental regulation to the drawing of new boundaries, and a number of international experts will give their views on the developments in the Arctic.

The conference “Arctic Shipping and Safety – Legal Challenges and Opportunities” takes place at the Royal Danish Naval Academy in Copenhagen on 6 – 7 October.
