Maritime Law, Insurance and Contracts
Maritime Law: Managing Risk, Liability, and Commercial Relationships
Maritime law courses underpin all the many contracts involved in shipping, and the elements catering to aspects relating to finance, insurance, and economic issues.
Why study Maritime Law?
When you consider studying maritime law, often there is quite a limited view of what it might entail. However, maritime law spans the entire industry, from the first touchpoint to the very last and everything in between. Every commercial decision a shipping business makes before the vessel leaves port is governed by maritime law.
Studying maritime law helps equip our students and professionals to mitigate risk across personnel, goods protection, legal contracts, voyage planning, vessel manufacturing, and port facilities. It makes maritime law one of the most practically applied fields internationally within the shipping industry.
