Shipping Law
Legal support for a country that depends on the sea: vessels, cargo, crew and the contracts around them.
Shipping and marine transport connect every island in the Maldives, from cargo vessels and supply boats to resort transfers and liveaboards. We advise owners, operators and their counterparties on the legal side of running vessels.
Our work covers the documents that come before a voyage and the disputes that can follow one, including claims for lost or damaged cargo, crew matters and marine insurance.
