If you want to advise people in the maritime sector, you need to know the maritime world. You need to be familiar with the specifics of the work and the international context of the sector. You need to know the relationships. We have been assisting large and small parties in merchant shipping, offshore, the ferry sector, shipbuilding, ports and sea fishing for decades. We have got to know that world well and now speak the language.
The daily practice of our maritime attorneys includes the seizure and execution of seagoing vessels, litigation concerning the enforcement of inspection services such as ILT and Port State Control, negotiations on damages in the event of a shipping accident, assistance in disciplinary cases before the Maritime Disciplinary Tribunal, advice on the Maritime Labour Convention, European fisheries regulations and other international maritime rules. We also regularly provide guidance on compliance issues and reflagging.
We advise shipping companies, shipyards, agents, fishing companies, pension funds, works councils, interest groups and seafarers.
