We have engaged with our global network of local legal firms who have shared their expertise and insights to create this jurisdiction guide. We would like to offer our thanks to all the lawyers for their valued contribution to this project. This guide therefore offers a snapshot view of 24 jurisdictions, setting out how each approaches issues which arise in the offshore sector, namely: - the maritime right to limit liability, including for wreck removal; - how international conventions such as the Bunkers Convention, CLC Convention, Wreck Removal Convention, Maritime Labour Convention or any related domestic legislation are applied and their geographical scope; - the enforceability of knock-for-knock provisions in a contract and whether exceptions for gross negligence and/or wilful misconduct are recognised concepts under local law; and - how the applicability of time bars apply to tort, contract and personal injury.
