In this edition of Marine Log’s Listen Up! podcast, we talk to Jeff Tillery, co-leader of the Maritime Litigation and Arbitration Team at Jones Walker LLP in New Orleans, on tips for responding to a maritime emergency.

Now, while this is something we hope you won’t have to deal with, the information we will hear from Tillery is invaluable in the event that you do.
