Competition law in liner shipping
What cooperation between liner carriers may do, and where the line runs
The consortia block exemption expired on 25 April 2024 and was not renewed; liner cooperation has since been measured directly against Article 101 TFEU. The course draws the line between a permitted operational arrangement and a hardcore restriction, and shows how an agreement is now assessed in-house.

What you can do after the course
These are the learning objectives as defined for the course. The final test measures against them.
You place the consortia block exemption in time and state that it ended on 25 April 2024.
You distinguish permitted operational arrangements from hardcore restrictions, which were never covered by the exemption either.
You calculate the market share threshold and apply it as a test.
You assess a consortium agreement yourself against Article 101(1) and 101(3) TFEU as it has applied since 26 April 2024.
