Marine Transportation Law in Egypt
Cargo, charterparties, bunkers, general average and marine insurance — advised as one connected commercial practice.
A single voyage can put cargo, a charterparty, bunker supply, marine insurance and, in the right circumstances, a general average adjustment all in play at once. Soliman Advocates advises on these matters as a single connected practice rather than as isolated disputes, because that is how they actually arise on a vessel calling at an Egyptian port.
Our marine transportation practice covers cargo claims and bills of lading, charterparty disputes, bunker supply and non-payment claims, general average contributions and adjustments, and marine insurance claims and coverage disputes — for shipowners, charterers, cargo interests, P&I Clubs and marine insurers across Suez, Port Said, Alexandria, Damietta and the Red Sea ports.
