Maritime Law

Maritime Law is a complex legal area involving numerous operations from transfer of the ownership rights to sea-going vessels and to employment of officers and crewmembers, which requires a competent legal support.

This support includes not only drawing up contracts, registering vessels in Russian and international registers but also numerous other operations. Our Company offers its Clients these comprehensive legal services.

Proper execution and timely registration of vessels are of primary importance in shipping business.

A distinctive feature of marine business is extensive documentation (bills of lading, mate’s receipts, bunker receipts, etc.), which presents considerable commercial and legal significance. Incorrect usage of these documents may result in heavy losses both for the ship owner and the cargo owner.
