Places of Refuge
Informa Law, June 2010
The need for specific legal arrangements governing ships in distress and places of refuge is one of the most topical problems in both public and private maritime law.
A letter from John A. C. Cartner M.Sc., M.B.A., LL.M., Ph.D. Ch.Eng., Eur.Ing., Master Mariner and author of The International Law of the Shipmaster to the author Prof Dr Eric Van Hooydonk
'I have just read – at one sitting – your new book, Places of Refuge. It is superb and I congratulate you for its publication and the enormous effort that went into its compilation. It will become the standard on the subject, I am sure. I know that I will refer several places to it in the second edition of The International Law of the Shipmaster. I did not include a chapter on the subject when I wrote because I was awaiting your book. I am not sure I need a chapter now! Well done, indeed, sir.'
The headline-grabbing shipping disasters involving the loss of the Erika (1999) and the Prestige (2002) attracted the attention of the IMO, the Comite Maritime International, the European Union, national maritime authorities around the globe and the maritime industry in general. Ultimately the impact of pollution on local economies and the environment was enough to arouse the concern of a broad swath of public opinion.
Places of Refuge provides clarity on
- the scope of the right of access
- the immunity of ships in distress
- the liability of authorities granting or denying access
- the basis and conditions of financial securities
- the obligation to establish contingency plans
This book serves as an authoritative source of current international law in this field.
