Ship Finance
Our team has expertise in advising on all aspects of the shipping and fishing industries and also the wider transportation arena. We are well versed on the commercial, regulatory and tax issues relating to ship finance. Whether we are acting for banks or other lenders, owners, operators or government agencies, we are geared to help clients manage the risks associated with the construction, sale and purchase of all types of commercial vessels (including offshore rigs and motor tankars) and yachts.
We have particular knowledge of the current difficulties facing the fisheries industry and of the innovative and complex security structures required to support loan facilities made available. Working closely with our highly respected environmental law team and supported where necessary by our contentious shipping arm, we are well placed to deal with contractual arrangements, mortgage and insurance issues as well as restructuring and insolvency arrangements.
