Port and Terminal Regulations, 2nd Edition

Published: April 2015

The use of ports and terminals, whether by shipowners or cargo owners, has legal and financial implications, and misunderstandings of regulations and contractual obligations can prove expensive. This book highlights the risks and how to mitigate them.

Now revised, updated and expanded, this remains the only book specifically devoted to the subject of port, harbour and terminal regulations.
