Shipping

The firm’s maritime activities are handled by four departments: marine litigation, ship registration, ship finance, and yachting. The Marine Litigation Department’s practice covers a wide cross section of shipping and maritime issues, ranging from ship repair to carriage of goods, from shipping casualties to maritime investigations, from mortgage enforcements to bunkering disputes; it acts for owners, hull and machinery underwriters and P and I clubs in the vast majority of shipping casualties taking place around Malta or relating to Maltese registered vessels and is involved in the majority of cases brought before the Maltese courts. 

The Ship Registration and Ship Finance Departments jointly represent some of the largest fleets and most important financiers in the world, whilst the Yachting Department assists owners and financiers of some of the world’s largest super yachts used for private as well as commercial purposes. Various members of these departments are regularly invited to lecture and speak extensively on the subject at Maltese and foreign fora.
