Reviews:-

Journal of International Maritime Law - May 09

“To the untutored and inexperienced, unravelling the legal maze would be a daunting experience and the logic of the current publication is to provide those who find themselves in this position with an effective and readily comprehensible roadmap.

The text is presented in a practical and sympathetic manner, cautious not to presume that the reader has anything more than a limited understanding of the relevant maritime and legal worlds.

It provides a broad introduction to the shipping industry, nautical terminology and to the UK health and safety statutes and regulations. The legal focus is on claiming in the Admiralty Court, limitation of liability and limitation periods, coupled with a discussion of basic definitions relating to `ship' and `crew' and the system of accident reporting.

With regard to industry operations the emphasis is on the legal regimes relating to offshore installations and diving operations for the gas and oil industry. The whole is supported by three appendices containing a very helpful list of comparative tables, glossary of terms and relevant Merchant Shipping Regulations. In writing this book the authors have set out to produce a practical introduction to a dense and complicated area of maritime law. This goal they have achieved. They have also succeeded in writing a book which will prove useful not only to lawyers but to anyone involved in the offshore industry”.
