We represent a full range of clients, including P & I clubs, hull and cargo underwriters, ship owners, shipyards and suppliers.

Ship arrests, injunctions, cargo and hull insurance policy advice, recovery work, charterparty disputes, salvage, general average, collisions, and sinkings are some of the areas in which our shipping lawyers are engaged in. Arbitration work is also an important part of the practice.

We have a well-established network of foreign solicitors in many other jurisdictions who assist us on shipping or trade matters. The use of on-line facilities enables ship watches and vessel identification in the port of Singapore to be carried out within minutes of instructions.

A dedicated emergency response team is also available at short notice to attend to major casualties in Singapore and the region.
