Namely, the speech of Vladimir Torskiy (Professor, Honourary Member of NIU, FNI) was fully dedicated to ILO Maritime Convention: Liability of Interested Parties. Mr. Torskiy covered various points of view and approaches to employment of a Ukrainian seafarer due to the effect caused by the Convention.

The speech of Nataliya Myroshnychenko named Claims of the Crew Members and Judicial Practice in Ukraine{/B} was accompanied by illustrative practical examples and brought a vivid discussion of the audience. The very discussion of Nataliya’ report initiated debates at the round table.
