10th Shiparrested.com Conference, 16-18 May 2013 Marrakech, Morocco
Held in the exotic city of Marrakech last May 16-18, the 10th edition of the Shiparrested Annual Conferences has been greatly organized by Hakim Lahlou and Ali Zioui from the Morocco firm LAHLOU ZIOUI & Associés.
In addition to a series of lectures and international table discussions – which offered unparalled cover to worldwide ship arrest topics – the event had an amazing social agenda gathered by more than 125 delegates including maritime lawyers from 30 different countries, industry guests and an important representation of the Morocco judiciary.

The meetings are crucial elements of shiparrested, demonstrating the true global network of Shiparrested.com. The professional and serious business sessions did not outweigh the usual very friendly atmosphere of shiparrested.com conferences.
After hosting the conferences worldwide from NY to Marrakech, we have decided to bring back the event to a shipping hub in Europe, Hamburg, in June 2014. Details concerning the 11th Conference will be circulating in due time.
