As the definitive text on the law of collisions at sea, Marsden provides a complete reference source for practitioners seeking an authoritative statement of the law or clear guidance on practice. It is a fact within the shipping law business that a worldwide recession paradoxically triggers more litigation, with parties keen to issue proceedings in disputes.
This new edition is therefore timely, and focuses on developments in the fast-moving case law in this field. Comprehensive coverage of contract, tort, statute and criminal liability are complemented by specific chapters on damages, costs, shipping inquiries and salvage.
