This unique new title provides expert, hands-on advice as to the law and practice of the maritime letter of indemnity. Detailing the variety of implications that can arise from each type of letter, the authors bring this important and litigious subject to the fore with a view to reducing the commercial and legal risks involved in this core area of shipping and international trade.
"Problems and disputes regarding maritime letters of indemnity are frequently encountered in practice, and have increasingly come before Courts and Arbitral Tribunals...Although some P&I Clubs have given useful practical guidance to their members...This work is an attempt to fill the gap."
