On behalf of Morais Leitão Claudia Santos Cruz, Manuel Freitas Pita, Sara Taipa Teixeira and Francisco Campos Braz will attend the Madeira Maritime Week 2025 (MMW2025).

The second edition of the event is hosted by the European International Shipowners’ Association of Portugal (EISAP) in collaboration, inter alia, with the Regional Government of the Autonomous Region of Madeira, Euromar and WISTA – Women’s International Shipping & Trading Association.

This year, MMW2025 will highlight Portugal’s growing presence in international shipping, with over 1,000 vessels now flying the Portuguese flag, a number expected to double in the near future. The conference agenda will cover a wide range of key topics, including competitiveness in maritime transport, the decarbonisation of shipping, financing innovation and new technologies, safe and sustainable ship recycling, reducing administrative burdens in the sector, and the responsibilities and advantages of operating under a high-quality flag.

Claudia Santos Cruz, partner and co-head of Morais Leitão’s Shipping practice, will be a speaker on the panel "WISTA Atlantic Forum: Reducing Bureaucracy in the Shipping Industry". The session will be dedicated to reducing bureaucracy in the European maritime sector and identifying solutions to increase its competitiveness in relation to other global regions.
