By Paul Todd
From Baird Maritime:
Piracy is one of the foremost topics of discussion in shipping circles at present. The release of the second edition of this book, then, is timely.
A lot has happened since the publication of its first edition in 2003. Obviously, the emphasis on piracy has been increased while the maritime fraud section has been expanded and updated.
Piracy and the law pertaining to it and insurance against it have become increasingly complex. Because it is now so prevalent, almost every ship owner and his legal advisors need to know more about it for their own protection.
Obviously, as long as there are ships and cargoes, there will be devious people who are inspired to defraud ship owners, charterers and insurers. The mass of cases described in this carefully researched text attest to that.
An important book on an increasingly important subject.
