The session, scheduled today 30th April 2026 at 10:00 AM, underscores
the growing international recognition of India’s academic leadership in
maritime law. A respected authority in the field, Prof. Dr. Shanthakumar’s
engagement with IMLI reflects a strong commitment to advancing legal
scholarship, fostering global collaboration, and contributing to the
development of future maritime leaders. His lecture is expected to provide
valuable insights into contemporary maritime legal frameworks and emerging
challenges in the sector, further reinforcing the role of academic institutions
in shaping policy and practice at the international level. The initiative has been made possible with
the support of Dr.
Norman Martinez, whose continued efforts in promoting academic
exchange and cooperation have strengthened ties between leading maritime
institutions worldwide.
This engagement marks yet another milestone in
enhancing India’s presence in the global maritime academic landscape and
highlights the importance of knowledge-sharing in building a sustainable and
future-ready maritime ecosystem.
