Marine Insurance Seminar
Conflict in the Straits of Hormuz is intensifying challenges for the shipping and marine insurance industries and beyond. Missile and drone strikes have prompted urgent reviews of war‑risk coverage, while the pursuit of “dark‑fleet” vessels has placed sanctions compliance at the forefront for insurers and maritime stakeholders alike. At the same time, shipping delays are driving up oil costs and creating ripple effects that are likely to surface in cargo claims.
These geopolitical pressures intersect with other critical issues confronting the maritime sector. The sharp rise in cyber incidents across shipping in 2025 has underscored the vulnerability of global supply chains, while the maritime sector continues to grapple with its environmental commitments.
The Insurance Law Association of Singapore proudly presents Conflict, Coverage, Claims & Complexities: Marine Insurance in 2026, a half‑day, in-person seminar designed to provide participants with critical insights into the most pressing maritime insurance issues today. Beyond thought‑provoking discussions, the seminar offers a valuable opportunity for lawyers, insurance professionals and other stakeholders to connect and their share experiences.

In the grip of a peril - insights into AerCap v AIG
The Insurance Law Association of Singapore is pleased to present a webinar exploring the recent landmark decision of AerCap Ireland Ltd & Ors v AIG Europe SA & Ors (Russian Aircraft Lessor Policy Claims [2025] EWHC 1430 (comm)) and its implications for the Singapore insurance market.
The case arose from the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, which left Western aircraft lessors unable to recover hundreds of aircraft and engines which had been leased to Russian airlines. The lessors claimed on certain insurance policies, but the scope of policy cover was fiercely contested.
In reaching its decision on policy coverage the High Court of England & Wales considered issues such as what principles of construction should be employed by the court when interpreting the policies, the meaning of “loss” and the application of the “grip of peril” doctrine, and the meaning of “proximate cause”. The court also considered whether certain US and EU sanctions prevented insurers from making payment.
We are privileged to invite an exceptional group of speakers to tell you more about this important case. Rebecca Sabben-Clare KC and Ben Lynch KC, who both acted in the cases, will provide valuable insights into the decision and Alvin Ee will provide his comments on how the case will impact the Singapore market.
The event is free of charge to current ILAS, AILA, NZILA and HILA members and is $35 for non members.

Artificial Intelligence: Uses in (Re)Insurance Industry and Legal Perspectives
While insurers are notoriously late tech adopters, AI will drive them to change (or die trying): While the challenges are very real, the applications for improved efficiency are near limitless throughout the insurance journey. From streamlining underwriting, through to pricing and claims management. We’ll examine some of the insurers and supporting actors (insurtechs) already embedding AI in their business. In the coming years it will become increasingly noticeable that those gaining greater market share or driving efficiencies will have been the early adopters.
Navigating the ESG Transition : Unpacking Implications Across the Suite of Professional Liability Insurances
This webinar will explore how issues relating to ESG should shape our thinking and practices from a professional liability insurance, governance and legal perspective.
Ransomware: How Insurance Responds in 2022
It has been reported that Singapore organisations are among the most targeted in the world. This means that cyber insurance, once thought to be a relatively niche product and unnecessary for small companies, is now absolutely crucial for businesses of all sizes. But how does cyber insurance really help a client during an attack, and how are insurers and service providers evolving to meet the increasingly sophisticated ways in which threat actors work? This webinar seeks to answer those questions.
