FD&D and P&I

Taylor Marine Law can assist with the variety of legal matters encountered in a volatile and busy
shipping market. We have acted for vessel owners, charterers, operators and their respective P&I Clubs.
Shipping is an international business and we remain committed to being available to deal with our
clients’ legal issues as they unfold irrespective of the time zone their vessel is in. In the event that
disputes do arise, we are experienced in the English High Court and arbitration tribunals (LMAA, ICC,
GAFTA, LCIA) and will do our very best to keep costs in proportion to the sum in dispute. In the case of
arbitration of small claims we will try to keep costs within the ambit of those recoverable under any
Small Claims Procedure. Whilst we can advise on all aspects of English law, we have a comprehensive
network of legal correspondents in other jurisdictions and can instruct surveyors at short notice.

We have experience of:

Time, voyage and bareboat charterparty disputes
LMAA, ICC, GAFTA, LCIA arbitration
Bunker contamination disputes
Offhire disputes
Safe port issues
Repudiation / termination of charter
Speed and performance claims
Bills of Lading, cargo damage, liens overloading, draft and deadfreight issues
MCA and criminal prosecutions
Demurrage
Collision and limitation of liability
Shipbulding disputes
Arrest, security, detention and Port State Control issues
