In this well-established textbook, Simon Baughen expertly covers the whole spectrum of English shipping law, placing the highly specialized rules of shipping in a commercial context and relating them to the general principles of contract and tort law. The book’s accessible narrative and a useful glossary of key terms will especially benefit students new to shipping law or from non-law backgrounds. In-depth commentary on judicial decisions and well-balanced coverage and analysis of recent and key cases, such as The Longchamp, Spar Shipping v Grand China Logistics, The Maersk Tangier, provides an up-to-date reference for all students on Shipping Law courses. The comprehensive overview of topics also ensures that the book is ably suited to course use
