The great insight of shipping law. The book covers many aspects related to shipping insurance, jurisdictions, rules, contracts, etc. Carriage of goods by sea covers as as many aspects as you need to know in your early career in shipping business.
Cases presented gives you more understanding in how it all works in practice in various jurisdictions.
