Overview
Understanding Shipping Litigation & Arbitration
Shipping disputes span charter-party breaches, collisions, salvage, demurrage, freight and bunker claims. Admiralty jurisdiction is exercised by designated High Courts under the Admiralty (Jurisdiction and Settlement of Maritime Claims) Act, 2017, while most commercial charter disputes are resolved by arbitration (LMAA, SIAC, ICC or ad hoc). We act for owners, charterers, cargo interests and insurers across litigation and arbitration.
