Maritime Law
Maritime law is a branch of law that regulates commercial and private activities occurring on seas and oceans. This field is of great importance to shipowners, carriers, cargo owners, insurance companies, port operators, yacht owners, and all individuals and institutions involved in maritime affairs. Maritime law encompasses matters such as shipbuilding, ship purchase and sale, transportation, marine insurance, accidents, pollution, and the financing of maritime trade. Both national legislation and international agreements form the basis of this field.
Maritime law defines the legal framework for commercial activities conducted on seagoing vessels. This includes ship charter parties, cargo transportation contracts, bills of lading, port services, ship registration procedures, and marine insurance.
Risk management in maritime transportation is possible with properly drafted insurance policies. Hull & Machinery (H&M) and Protection & Indemnity (P&I) insurance are the foundation of maritime transportation. Legal support is crucial for insurance renewals, managing damage claims, and negotiating with insurance companies to prevent potential losses. Working with attorneys specializing in maritime insurance effectively protects clients' interests during these processes.
