Shipping

Our Shipping practice advises clients across the full maritime value chain, including shipowners, operators, charterers, commodity traders, financiers, insurers, logistics providers, and energy companies. We act on both contentious and non-contentious matters, frequently involving multi-jurisdictional issues and time-sensitive considerations.

Our team of experienced lawyers specialises in handling complex shipping disputes, including charterparty and bill of lading disputes, cargo damage and shortage claims, bunker disputes, ship collisions and groundings, and other maritime casualties. We are regularly instructed in ship arrest and enforcement proceedings before the Singapore courts, and work closely with P&I Clubs, marine insurers, surveyors, and technical experts to secure swift and effective outcomes for our clients.

In addition, we advise on a broad range of advisory and transactional matters, including shipping and logistics contracts, trade and commodity financing structures, sanctions and regulatory compliance, and risk management issues arising from international trade operations. We also assist clients in navigating regulatory requirements affecting shipping activities, including port regulations, licensing regimes, and compliance with international maritime conventions.

Combining deep industry knowledge with strong dispute resolution and advisory capabilities, we deliver practical, strategic, and commercially focused solutions to help clients manage risk, resolve disputes, and achieve their business objectives in the global shipping sector.
