Maritime and Transport Law <\/strong>governs shipping operations, maritime trade, the carriage of goods and passengers, as well as the contracts, liabilities and insurance associated with these activities. It covers matters such as charter parties, bills of lading, general average, collisions, limitation of liability and procedures for the preventive arrest of ships. <\/p>\n

This branch of law is particularly relevant to shipowners, shipping companies, shippers, freight forwarders, marine insurers and logistics operators who require legal certainty in complex commercial transactions, both domestic and international. The technical nature of this discipline requires a thorough understanding of the applicable international conventions, EU regulations and Spanish maritime law. <\/p>\n

At BGI LAW,<\/strong> we provide legal advice on maritime and transport law, including the drafting and negotiation of charter parties, the handling of claims for damage to or loss of cargo, the provision of security, and representation in court or arbitration proceedings relating to the maritime and port sectors.<\/p>\n
