Maritime Law is written by a team of leading academics and practitioners, each expert in their own field. Together, they provide clear, concise and fully up-to-date coverage of topics ranging from bills of lading to arrest of ships, all written in an accessible and engaging style.

Over one hundred new cases from the English courts, the Court of Justice of the European Union and the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea.
