Widely recognised as the definitive authority on voyage charters, this work offers the most comprehensive and analytically rigorous examination of the subject. Frequently cited by courts and arbitral tribunals, it is an essential reference for both drafting charterparty agreements and resolving disputes arising under them.
Voyage Charters presents a detailed, clause-by-clause commentary on the two principal charterparty forms: the Gencon standard charter and the Asbatankvoy form. It also provides in-depth analysis of COGSA and the Hague and Hague-Visby Rules, a comparative study of English and United States law, and an extensive review of relevant arbitration awards.
An indispensable and practical resource, this book is invaluable to shipping law practitioners—both contentious and non-contentious—as well as postgraduate students specialising in this field.
