Nicolette van der Jagt

Nicolette van der Jagt was appointed Secretary General of the European Shippers Council and later served as Director General of CLECAT, the European association for forwarding, transport, logistics and customs services, working on container shipping regulation and competition policy. She argued publicly against renewal of the EU's block exemption for liner shipping, citing the level of market concentration among container shipping alliances.

She spoke as a panellist at six Mare Forum and related maritime policy events between 2002 and 2006, including sessions on the HNS Convention and the New European Maritime Policy.
