Marine contracts
Having advised several major East and West German shipyards over many years, we have gained in-depth experience in the diverse field of marine contracts.
Shipbuilding is one of our main areas of practice and covers both civil shipbuilding (including container vessels, cruise liners and mega-yachts) and naval shipbuilding which, due to its complex contract structures, is handled by our high-profile engineering project experts.
Clients include owners seeking our advice on negotiating ship loans and the requisite securities, as well as a number of renowned ship finance banks and investment companies. In addition, we draft clauses for charterparties and other shipping contracts on a regular basis.
Our services include advice on:
- Shipbuilding contracts
- Ship finance and securities
- Ship repair and refit contracts
- Sale and purchase
- Management structures
- Offshore units
- Cooperation and pooling agreements
- Time, voyage, bareboat and slot charter parties.
