The book is set out in three parts. -Part I offers a detailed and critical analysis of issues of contemporary importance concerning time charters. -Part 2 carries out a similar analysis with regard to voyage charterparties. -Part 3 deliberates issues common to both type of charterparties. Offering critical analysis of contemporary legal issues on charterparty contracts, this book considers recent legal and practical developments and is therefore essential reading for both professional and academic readers with an interest in charterparties.
