Details

The maintenance of Hong Kong as a free port and international logistics hub is crucial for its economic vitality. Rapidly expanding international trade with mainland China and Hong Kong has generated significant changes to the shipping and logistics law in both jurisdictions. This textbook provides a general framework for the basic principles of shipping and logistics law in Hong Kong. It contains illustrations from case law, extracts of the relevant legislation, and sample shipping and marine insurance documents for reference. It covers the curriculum requirements of most courses on shipping law, transport studies and logistics management. Besides, all the issues examined in this book have relevance for managers, insurers, bankers and lawyers who need to acquire a clear understanding of the key principles in a practical context.
