Legal Issues in Bunkering. An Introduction to the Law Relating to the Sale and Use of Marine Fuels/Правовые вопросы бункеровки. Введение в законодательство, касающееся продажи и использования судового топлива

Книга на английском языке
Legal Issues in Bunkering: An Introduction to the Law Relating to the Sale and Use of Marine Fuels is one of those examples where the reader can feel that the author thoroughly knows his subject and, importantly, knows how to put it across. Trevor Harrison is, of course, a lawyer by profession and has spent many years as in-house counsel for a major oil trading and supply company, as a barrister and as an arbitrator and mediator. His experience of dealing with legal issues in many areas of maritime commerce have clearly given him a solid background in maritime law, and, in particular, in the area of bunkering for which he has become something of an international expert. But it is the way that he conveys this accumulated information that sets this book apart from the others.
Never intended as an encyclopaedia of the laws associated with bunkering, this book nevertheless covers the core subjects well, from the basics of the general law of contract, to sellers’ terms and conditions, charterparty relationships and - importantly -what to do when things go wrong. It covers legal issues that one might expect to find in a volume 10 times larger, distilling the salient points and thankfully summarising the more arcane bits. Trevor looks at quality and quantity disputes, charterparty disputes, claims in tort and ship arrest. He provides helpful chapters on regulations and conventions, and some very useful appendices.
