Strong and carefully constructed contracts are essential in tanker operations, where even minor delays,
cargo damage, or breaches of regulatory requirements can lead to substantial financial losses and reputational harm.
The complexity of global shipping—spanning multiple jurisdictions, evolving environmental regulations, and fluctuating
market conditions—demands precise contractual terms that protect all parties involved. Our team is deeply committed to
drafting, reviewing, and negotiating contracts that address the specific risks associated with tanker operations, from
demurrage and off-hire provisions to pollution liabilities and compliance with international conventions such as MARPOL
and SOLAS.
We stay continuously updated on developments in international shipping law, emerging industry trends, and
standard chartering practices such as Shelltime and BIMCO forms. This enables us to provide clients with
informed, forward-looking advice that supports smooth operations and minimizes exposure to disputes.
Whether assisting with voyage or time charters, ship management agreements, or compliance documentation,
our focus is on delivering robust legal and commercial protection throughout every stage of the tanker
operation.
