International Maritime Law and Practice

“The comparative perspective, employed with great effectiveness to illuminate both similarities and differences between legal systems, provides the reader with an almost holistic understanding of contemporary lex maritima. As such, it is exceptionally well-suited for academic training and, perhaps even more importantly, serves as an invaluable resource for professionals navigating the ever-evolving landscape of maritime regulation and jurisprudence.” Professor Marko Pavliha, European Transport Law

“By bringing different legal jurisdictions into a single analytical frame, it highlights both structural differences and shared underlying concerns. For that reason, the book should inspire other scholars—whether in maritime law or beyond—to recognise the value of adopting a comparative lens in legal scholarship.” Siqi Sun, School of Law, Shanghai Maritime University, Shanghai, People’s Republic of China and Ran He, Law Department, Korea University, Seoul, Republic of Korea

“The final chapter…. provides a comprehensive overview of marine insurance law, effectively contrasting foundational principles (utmost good faith, indemnity, proximate cause) with modern reforms of the UK Insurance Act 2015. Its comparative analysis between common and civil law approaches to causation and disclosure is particularly interesting, highlighting the move towards more proportionate remedies. Overall, this book serves as a valuable and technical resource accessible to readers from varied legal jurisdictions. It offers thorough, well-researched narratives on maritime law.” Professor Meixian Song, Shanghai Maritime University, People’s Republic of China.
