Transport

The new edition of this well established text continues to provide a comprehensive and critical study of the principles of law governing the carriage of goods by sea. While concentrating mainly on an exposition of the law relating to charterparties and bills of lading, coverage is also devoted to the development of new forms of documentation and to problems involving through and combined transport, in so far as they relate to carriage of goods by sea. The emphasis throughout the text is on the English common law approach but reference is also made to US and Commonwealth case material. Legal principles are examined critically against the background of current documentation and contemporary practice in the shipping industry. The book is recommended reading on professional courses and for undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Maritime law and International Trade. It should also be a useful basic reference for members of shipping and legal firms and P&I clubs who are involved in carriage claims.

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 third edition has been expanded in many areas, to take into account developments such as the 2001 Bunker Oil Pollution Convention, the implementation of the ISM Code, and the continuing work by UNCITRAL on its potentially far-reaching Draft Instrument on Carriage of Goods. In-depth analysis is provided of recent important judicial decisions, such as that of the House of Lords in The Starsin and those of the Court of Appeal in The Rafaela S, The Sea Empress and The Happy Day. This book provides an invaluable source of reference on the subject and will be of use both to students and to those in practice.

Carriage of Goods by Sea contains contains a lucid analysis of the law on the subject written primarily from the perspective of English law but with reference to cases in other major commonwealth countries.

This book fills an important gap in the existing literature on the subject. It is one of a small number of one volume texts covering the subject in its entirety, with the added benefit of being fully up-to-date and appealing both to a practitioner and a student audience. Coverage includes all the traditional topics, such as bills of lading and charterparties (voyage, time, and demise), and focuses also on each of the international conventions regulating the subject. Additionally, the content of the book extends to such issues as limitation, admiralty claims (in the cargo context), and a brief discussion of maritime arbitration. Although written from the perspective of English law, a particular feature is the extensive cross-referencing to (and analysis of) the law in other major common law jurisdictions (especially Australasia, Malaysia and Singapore, Hong Kong, and South Africa).

This easy-to-use book is for busy shipowners, charterers, and brokers, and is an excellent reference work for lawyers practicing in the field. The sixth edition continues to present complex issues simply and clearly, with a flowing text free of footnotes and a good use of case summaries.
