Routledge The ISM Code - Legal and Insurance Guide

Navigating the complexities of maritime regulations can be difficult due to a lack of established case law. The ISM Code has been mandatory for most commercial vessels for over a decade, yet many professionals still face confusion regarding its legal and insurance implications. This third edition of the Lloyd's Practical Shipping Guide provides a much-needed resource for those operating in the maritime sector. This updated text represents a major re-write to address significant amendments made to the ISM Code on July 1, 2010, and January 1, 2015. It offers a practical overview designed to help practitioners understand the consequences of non-compliance. By providing clear guidance on potential implications, this book serves as an essential reference for managing risk and understanding the legal landscape of modern shipping operations.
