In this well-established textbook, Simon Baughen expertly covers the whole spectrum of English shipping law, placing the highly specialised rules of shipping in a commercial context and relating them to the general principles of contract and tort law. The book’s accessible narrative and useful glossary of key terms will especially benefit students new to shipping law or from non-law backgrounds.

The comprehensive overview of topics also ensures that the book is ably suited to course use, including discussion of such areas as:
Bills of lading
Charterparties
Salvage
Marine Pollution
Jurisdiction
Choice of Law
