IML Directorship handover

After 3 years, today marks the end of Professor Andrew Serdy’s term of office as Director of the Institute of Maritime Law.

We would like to thank him for all his hard work and leadership. Under Andrew we have continued to run the world-renowned Maritime Law Short Course, restructured with the forming of our Advisory Board and adopted new terms of reference.

Andrew will remain a valued member of the Institute and is now enjoying a well-deserved research leave.

Today Andrew handed over to our new Director, Dr Alexandros Ntovas. Dr Ntovas first joined the University of Southampton in 2007 as a doctoral scholarship recipient to pursue his PhD, receiving immediately after its completion a full-time law lectureship in the Law School. In 2019 we were delighted to welcome him back to the University of Southampton Law School as Associate Professor of Maritime Law, at the level of Readership, and his term as Director of the Institute of Maritime Law will be 2020–2023.
