I am a shipping lawyer, specialising in shipbuilding, conversion, refit/repair and ship sale and purchase matters, acting for shipowners, offshore contractors and shipyards. My work routinely includes the negotiation, drafting and related contract management of such contracts involving most vessel and unit types, including ferries, LNG carriers, container vessels and superyachts, as well as contracts (including EPC and EPIC contracts) for offshore procurement projects involving rigs, FPSO units, accommodation platforms and other specialised vessels in the sector. I have written and lectured on marine construction and refit/conversion contracting, ship sale and purchase and ship recycling.
