These would include provisions relating to the corporate authority of the obligors and the underlying security, the vessel as well as terms before delivery of a vessel in construction.
Part 3: Anatomy of Security Documents and Risk Management
As an important risk mitigation measure, we will introduce various security documents commonly found in a ship finance transaction and the commercial and legal considerations behind each of them.
Part 4: Group discussion and interactive Q&A
The course will follow by group discussion on various scenarios, including how to counter various negotiation points from the other side with persuasive reasoning and the pros and cons of compromising certain comments. The course then concludes by having a traditional Q&A to clear any questions the Students may have.
