SHIPYARDS

The contractual relationship between shipyards and shipping companies is often complicated, whether the contract is for new ship construction, repairs or refit. Specialist advice is often required to adequately safeguard the respective interests of the parties.

In addition, disputes frequently arise between shipyards and shipping companies, either during the course of the work contracted for or subsequently.
