ABSTRACT
1.001 This book is an introduction to several aspects of the law of the European Union (“EU”) 1 as it relates to shipping or maritime transport. 2 Instead of being a general textbook on EU law, this book takes a specialist approach to EU law by identifying and examining many of the aspects of EU law most relevant to shipping. 3 Given the breadth of the topic, the book concentrates on issues most relevant to shipping because almost any area of EU law is potentially relevant to the sector.
