More Description

This comprehensive book provides a wealth of information on the key legal aspects of bunkering including contracts, defaults, ship arrest and dispute resolution; there is also a section dealing with international conventions and national legislation on environmental issues relevant to bunkering. Whilst not intended as a substitute for detailed legal advice, this book will help the reader understand legal matters and point him in the right direction should professional help be required. It should be kept on the desk of every trader and broker, owner and charterer, and maritime lawyer, arbitrator, regulator and government agency. The author, Trevor Harrison, qualified as a barrister over 30 years ago and now practises as a maritime arbitrator, mediator and legal consultant with a particular expertise in bunkering. I am delighted to recommend it to anyone with an interest in the law relating to bunkers and bunkering and to those who have an interest in steering clear of the many legal pitfalls that can beset the global bunker industry.
