Widely regarded as the leading authority on voyage charters, this book offers the most comprehensive and intellectually rigorous analysis of the area. It is regularly cited in court and by arbitrators and serves as the go-to guide for drafting and disputing charterparty contracts.

Voyage Charters provides the reader with a clause-by-clause analysis of the two major charterparty forms: the Gencon standard charterparty contract and the Asbatankvoy form. It also includes thorough treatment of COGSA and the Hague and Hague-Visby Rules, a comparative analysis of English and United States law, and a detailed section on arbitration awards.

This book is an indispensable, practical guide for both contentious and non-contentious shipping law practitioners, as well as postgraduate students studying this area of law.
