The Maritime industry is international by nature, and with that, different ways of doing business, both cultural and legal occur. This can expose companies and employees alike to corruptive activities. A great topic to discuss with a criminologist, employment lawyer and a criminal defence lawyer. The podcast ‘Corruption in the Maritime Industry’ organised by the Rotterdam Maritime Services Community and hosted by Lisette Smit-Bennemeer (Master Coordinator LLM Commercial Law) brings together Prof. Dr. Richard Staring (Professor Criminology Erasmus School of Law), Mr. Erik Witjens (Mount Law) and Mr. Emiel de Joode (Ten Holter Noordam Advocaten) to discuss how vulnerabilities to corruption in the maritime sector can be prevented. By using concrete examples, discussing recent developments and examining adequate procedures, the podcast provides a clear understanding of the challenges and solutions to corruption risks in the maritime sector.

Speakers are: Erwin van Geyten (AON), Dr. Julia Hornig (ESL) and Dr. Frank Stevens (ESL)
