This unique title examines issues of ship owning, trading, and maritime law and practice in light of risk, with a view to minimising the risk of liabilities and avoiding the pitfalls of litigation or arbitration.
This third edition has been fully revised and restructured into two self-contained volumes for ease of reference. It continues to provide succinct analysis of the key principles and precedents of maritime law, as well as a commercially sensitive approach to risk management issues.
This first volume tackles a wealth of complex jurisdictional aspects, ranging from the enforcement of maritime claims to a detailed analysis of the conditions of arrest of ships, including reconsideration of wrongful arrest, beneficial ownership, forum non-convenience and limitations upon the jurisdiction of the English courts.
