This book covers in one handy volume all the major topics associated
with ship operations. Carefully, co-ordinated to ensure breadth,
relevance and lack of overlap, the topics covered are addressed by
authors are the very top of their profession, whether in legal practice
or academia, and are presented in a manner which is topical and clear.
Part I offers a detailed and critical analysis of issues of contemporary
importance concerning new liability regimes and developments. Part 2
discusses how parties, in particular ship operators, attempt in
contemporary practice to allocate their risks concerning ship
operations. Part 3 evaluates the legal position of those involved in
more 'back office' operations. The book provides an invaluable guide to
recent legal and practical developments and offers a comprehensive,
well-informed and thoroughly practical guide on what is a very complex
and developing area of law. It will therefore be of great use to legal
practitioners and administrators of ship operations worldwide, as well
as students in this area and academics associated with maritime law
generally.
