The Law of Shipbuilding Contracts is the leading text on the application of English contract law to shipbuilding and marine construction.
This updated edition analyses the principal shipbuilding contract forms, related ancillary and conversion agreements, and—new to this edition—contracts for offshore oil and gas vessels and units. It incorporates recent High Court decisions, particularly on refund guarantees, and examines the impact of economic turbulence, increasing disputes, and evolving environmental and regulatory pressures on the sector.
Comprehensive and authoritative, it is an essential resource for buyers, builders, financiers, insurers, lawyers and others involved in shipbuilding and offshore projects, as well as maritime law students.
