This is the leading text on shipbuilding and marine construction, already widely used on a global basis.

Essential reading for:

•  Purchasers and charterers of newbuilding tonnage
•  Shipbuilders and offshore construction yards
•  Lawyers and insurers working in the maritime and offshore oil and gas sectors
•  Banks and other finance providers

It examines the principles of English contract law as these apply to shipbuilding. This edition comments in detail upon the Shipbuilders’ Association of Japan Form but now contrasts this with the NEWBUILDCON from BIMCO in 2007 and the China Maritime Arbitration Commission Forms from 2011 where these are significantly different. It also includes sections dealing with agreements ancillary to the shipbuilding contract and conversion contracts.

The book details the principles of English contract law as these apply to international shipbuilding. It also includes sections dealing with guarantees and other agreements which support the shipbuilding contract and with ship conversion contracts.
