The ISM Code has been mandatory for almost every commercial vessel in the world for more than a decade, and yet there is very little case law in this area. Consequently, there remains a great deal of confusion about the potential legal and insurance implications of the Code.
This third edition deals with the significant amendments that were made to the ISM Code on 1st July 2010.
This book provides practitioners with a practical overview of, and much needed guidance on the potential implications of failing to implement the code. It will be hugely valuable to DPAs, managers of ship operating companies, ship masters, maritime lawyers and claims staff.
Dr. Phillip Anderson is a specialist marine consultant, is widely considered one of the world's leading authorities on the ISM Code, and has been involved in hundreds of ISM Code cases.
