Reviews:
'For the legal practitioner, this book is a unique and invaluably time saving survey of the law affecting the shipmaster across a range of jurisdictions worldwide, all logically set out in one convenient volume. Not only is this a unique source of reference for lawyers and the courts, as well as ship masters themselves, the insights it provides constitute an invaluable aid to decision making for ship managers and operators, not to mention risk managers. The book’s publication date is September 2009. No doubt it will be updated as the years pass. We believe it is destined to become a classic work in maritime and shipping law.'
-- An appreciation by Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers
“The International Law of the Shipmaster should be considered as much a ship's bible as the Rules of the Road and Bowditch on Navigation. It is my opinion that unless this treatise is found on the bridge in the ship's library behind her two radars, the vessel is unseaworthy. Shipmaster should also be a part of each owner's, insurer's, cargo interest's, agent's, etc., library, not to mention every serious maritime law office in the world.”
-- Jeff Mudgett, co-founder and former editor of The Maritime Executive, May/June 2010
'Readers who visit its chapters will do so again and again for it is by no means easy to overfly and many of the satisfactions of reading the work come from the careful consideration of sources and the discussion of sources.'
-- Sam Ignarski, Editor, Bow Wave WavyLine.com, Issue No. 538 15 MAR 10
'This is an awesome guide to the master's standing in law, and will give those who have dealings with him/her an understanding of the currents swirling around in any decisions made.'
-- Richard Clayton, Fairplay, March 2010, Vol. 368, Issue 6572
