Essential guidance on Maritime Law and Management

The law and business of the sea has grown increasingly complicated, both for the safety of the ship and the seafarers, and for the marine environment, which has leapt to the top of the list of priorities of Port States in just a generation. Because of the demand by society to find someone to blame for environmental and human loss, there is a constant flow of cases and new international Regulations which have to be observed – and ignorance of the law is no defence.
These new books by Simon Daniels have been written in a format which meets the needs of all those whose profession is seafaring, whether they are embarking on their careers, or have been at sea for many years, when a comprehensive knowledge of the current laws and Regulations is vital but all too often is limited to what they hear about amendments. Whether still at sea or now working shore, they are equipped now to resolve problems by risk management within the context of marine operations.
