Nordic Maritime Law Gathering was arranged for the third year on 7-8 March.
On day 1, Stena and Stena RoRo CEO Per Westling welcomed a group of enthusiastic students with content-rich presentations and discussions by and with contract experts Mattias Kjellberg, Filip Feurst and Örjan Karlsson.
After this, a visit to the bridge and engine rooms of Stena Jutlandica and a tasty lunch from the Stena restaurant together with Johan Gyllén, Operations Manager, Stena RoRo. Stena's presentation of one of last year's NMLG-participating students as a new employee naturally aroused interest
After lunch and a short walk to Mannheimer Swartling's nicely looking premises at the top of Våghuset for an overview of their maritime law work and a lecture with Mattias Arnesson, Senior Associate and Alexander Ivarsson, Partner.
Day one ended with a cosy mingle in the Malmstensvåningen at the School of Business, Economics and Law at the University of Gothenburg.
On day two, the Swedish Club welcomed us at the classic conference table and, as in previous years, offered a lot of useful information about how Martin Birgersson, Claims Manager and Aron Leth, Claims Executive reason. We were given presentations of both their work in insuring a global fleet and how a claim is handled from start to successful end. At the Swedish Club, we were also offered lunch and information about the opportunity to apply for a position.
The afternoon was devoted to discussions about theses on site at the School of Business. Both department staff and invited practising lawyers participated. The students also had the opportunity to discuss with each other in groups. Sowing the seeds for degree projects in maritime and transport law

Eftestøl and Claes Martinson, would like to thank all participants and especially the industry experts for their contribution to making the Nordic Maritime Law Gathering possible.
