The issue of safe ports and berths naturally stems from the vessel’s operation. Safe Port and Safe Berth delineates a meaning of safety under English and American law, discusses a standard of culpability of the parties, and describes on physical, political, administrative and ecological conditions. These conditions of the port are discussed with examples of court’s decisions and arbitration awards. The book provides a view of legal practitioners on piracy, radioactive contamination, ocean pollution by oil spills and decease outbreak on board and their interplay with port safety. The book is written as a tool to ship brokers, owners, charterers, arbitrators and courts in an attempt to minimize the risk in global trade and to bring certainty to interpretation of charterparties.
