GUIDE: Great Reference Works of the Maritime Law World
There are many very useful books in the world of Maritime Law, but in each area there is one which can be considered almost a bible for the subject.
In my opinion, some of the main ´biblical´ works are as follows:
Bills of Lading (3rd Ed.) by Richard Aikens, Richard Lord and Michael Bools – £ 405.
Voyage Charters (3rd Ed.) by Julian Cooke & others. £ 475.
Time Charters (6th Ed.) by Terence Coghlin & others – £ 470.
P&I Clubs: Law and Practice (4th Ed.) by David Semark – £ 360.
The Law of Tug & Tow (2nd Ed.) by Simon Rainey – £ 390.
Thomas Stowage (5th Ed.) by Captain G.M. Pepper Master Mariner – £ 100.
Ship Knowledge (6th Ed.) by Dokmar – £ 60.
Marine Cargo Claims (4th Ed.’) by Prof. William Tetley – £ 220.
