Charter parties

A myriad of standard contract forms are used in shipping, some of them tailored to particular purposes, others are general-purpose forms.

In addition, special clauses are constantly being prepared to accommodate geographical, political or legal developments.

Legal advice is often needed when such contracts are made, and urgent assistance may also be required during the term of the contract.
