Overview
Understanding Transportation Agreements
Sea transportation runs on carefully drafted contracts — voyage and time charter parties, contracts of affreightment (COA), bills of lading and multimodal transport documents. We draft, review and negotiate these instruments (often on BIMCO-standard forms) to allocate risk on laytime, demurrage, deviation, liability and jurisdiction.
