Abstract:

Shipping Law covers the whole spectrum of English shipping law. It takes a structured and integrated approach to the highly specialised rules of shipping, which are placed in their commercial context and related to the general principles of English contract and tort law. The fourth edition has been expanded in many areas, to take into account devel- opments such as the 2007 Wreck Removal Convention and the Rotterdam Rules. In-depth analysis is provided of recent important judicial decisions. This book provides an invaluable source of reference on the subject, and will be of use both to students and to those in practice.
