As the first book ever to dedicate itself to the explanation of the sale of ships under the Singapore Sale Form (SSF), it serves as a guiding light to those new to the SSF and who wish to appraise themselves of the pros and cons of using the Form.
The book provides a detailed clause-by-clause commentary of the Form, the case law from which it has drawn inspiration and the main differences between the Singapore text and the two editions of the Norwegian Sale Form.
Targetted at ship owners, shipping professionals and shipping lawyers in the practice of the sale and purchase of ships, the authors' examination of the SSF lays bare to their readers, the bones of the Form and its construction in light of industry precedents.
More importantly, the book also contains a number of tips on how to make the most of this new Form, providing the sale and purchase practitioner with the essential reference tool for the negotiation, closing and enforcement of any ship sale, including the details of Singapore arbitration proceedings.
