Description: The sixth edition of this book aims to continue to provide those involved in handling shipping
disputes with an overview of the key issues relevant to multiple jurisdictions. We have again
invited contributions on the law of leading maritime nations, including both major flag states
and the countries in which most shipping companies are located. We also include chapters on
the law of the major shipbuilding centres and a range of other jurisdictions.
As with previous editions of The Shipping Law Review, we begin with cross-jurisdictional
chapters looking at the latest developments in important areas for the shipping industry:
competition and regulatory law, sanctions, ocean logistics, piracy, shipbuilding, ports and
terminals, offshore shipping, marine insurance and environmental issues. A new chapter
on decommissioning is also included, which seeks to demystify this interesting and
fast-developing area of law.
Each jurisdictional chapter gives an overview of the procedures for handling shipping
disputes, including arbitration, court litigation and any alternative dispute resolution
mechanisms. Jurisdiction, enforcement and limitation periods are all covered. Contributors
have summarised the key provisions of local law in relation to shipbuilding contracts,
contracts of carriage and cargo claims. We have also asked the authors to address limitation
of liability, including which parties can limit, which claims are subject to limitation and the
circumstances in which the limits can be broken. Ship arrest procedure, which ships may be
arrested, security and counter-security requirements, and the potential for wrongful arrest
claims are also included
