This book continues to be the leading world publication on its specialist subject of marine insurance claims.

Since 1990 there have been many changes and amendments to British and International Shipping Law including the Oil Pollution Act passed by the United States, two revisions of Lloyd's Standard Form of Salvage Agreement, a new set of York-Antwerp Rules and amendments to the Institute Hull and Freight Clauses. All these are thoroughly considered, monitored and discussed in this 3rd Edition of this classic work.
