The Maritime Law Association of South Africa was established in February 1974 as a result of concern among maritime lawyers and the shipping industry that legislation in South Africa regulating maritime affairs did not appear to be keeping pace with developments elsewhere in the world.

MLA AGM and Conference 2010

At a recent Exco Meeting of the MLA held on 4 December 2009 it was resolved that due to the 2010 soccer world cup in South Africa, the AGM and Conference would be moved from 4 June 2010 – 6 June 2010 to the 22, 21 and 22 August 2010.

The Conference is to be held at the Le Franschhoek Hotel which promises to be an outstanding venue for the Conference. If you would like to view the hotel and its facilities please go to www.lefranschhoek.co.za. The MLASA would like as many people to attend the conference as possible and those of you who are interested are urged to book these dates in your diary. In due course the MLASA will send out a formal invitation to the Conference together with an agenda and details as to costs and bookings. We hope to see you all at the Conference.
