Vessels have been governed by a special form of common law, as well as special statutes and international agreements, since maritime commerce began in the earliest civilizations. It is that body of law that is the subject of Maritime Law Answer Book 2014, which provides clear and useful answers to legal concerns of vessel owners, bankers, and shippers. Simply put, if there is a vessel involved, you may need this book.
Using a straightforward Q&A format, Winston & Strawn maritime partners Charlie Papavizas and Allen Black provide a comprehensive overview that covers the array of U.S. regulatory issues ranging from promotional programs such as the Maritime Security Program to environmental requirements such as the Environmental Protection Agency’s Vessel General Permit. These modern-day regulatory issues are discussed in addition to the more traditional subjects of maritime law such as the laws applicable to merchant mariners, bills of lading, vessel mortgages and leasing, as well as the trading impact of foreign-flag registration.
