ABSTRACT

Modern Maritime Law is the only book to provide a comprehensive treatment of contemporary admiralty and maritime law as applied internationally. It brings together the substantive law, jurisdictional issues and international aspects of maritime liabilities and compensation in one volume.
Renowned for its first edition, the book has been extensively revised to bring it into line with new trends and perspectives.
The book:

  • provides summaries of cases in the context of extensive analysis of principles at common law, equity, statutes, EU Directives, and International Conventions
  • examines a wide range of maritime liability categories in the context of risk management and addresses topical and current issues
  • contains information on the latest EU and International safety and security measures for the protection of people and the marine environment

Modern Maritime Law is a vital reference guide for marine lawyers, students, ship-owners, ship-managers, salvors, shipbrokers, mortgagees, P & I clubs, shipbuilders, port authorities, classification societies, regulators and a wide range of professionals within the industry.
