Alexey Karchiomov to speak at 3rd Baltic Oil and Gas Trading and Transportation Conference
From 22 to 24 October 2013, the Baltic Oil and Gas Trading and Transportation Conference will be held in St. Petersburg for the third time. The event is part of Baltic Oil and Gas Week. Alexey Karchiomov, Associate of the Maritime Shipping/Transport Law Practice at EPAM will speak at the Conference.
Baltic Oil and Gas Week is the next logical step in developing the unique Baltic Oil and Gas Trade and Transportation Conference, and addresses the need to combine all of the logistical and trade aspects of the industry in the region. Baltic Oil and Gas Week is currently the only event that brings together refineries, traders, logistics companies, and ship owners. It focuses not only on discussing general oil and gas industry issues, but also on finding solutions for the specific problems in each sector.
The Baltic Oil and Gas Trading and Transportation Conference, which has this year evolved into Baltic Oil and Gas Week, aims to highlight and analyse the region’s activities as a trading and transportation corridor and as a final market. The Conference is for all market players in the Baltics, Northwest Europe, and Northwest Russia, as well as exporters and traders in the CIS who focus on sales in the North-West.
On 24 October, Alexey Karchiomov, Associate of the Firm’s Maritime Shipping/Transport Law Practice will give a presentation on ‘Contracts for the Transport of Oil Products by Sea: Application of and Changes to Standard Forms’. Alexey will talk about the procedure and specifics of agreeing and concluding contracts for the transportation of oil products by sea and give an analysis of the main difficulties encountered. He will also cover standard contracts and give practical advice on the inclusion of supplementary clauses and provisions to protect the interests of the parties.
