Published Books
Fresh Produce Shipping – Damages and Compensation
This book is an in-depth study of air and ocean goods-in-transit claims. It sets out to guide and assist businesses within the fresh produce industry to successfully implement the best processes and procedures to maximise their recovery efforts against contracted carriers.
Fresh Produce Shipping focuses heavily on protecting the rights and recovery aspects of companies involved in growing, selling, and transporting fresh produce. It gives importers, exporters, loss adjusters, surveyors, and freight forwarders an easy-to-understand guide to the management and requirements of submitting claims. It provides an overview of the shipping terms and procedures involved when raising a claim. The book offers specific and detailed industry knowledge to stakeholders who would not normally have access to such information without the employment of specialists or legal counsel, providing an inexperienced reader with the tools to submit a claim and achieve an understanding of protocol.
A valuable guide and comprehensive reference for parties seeking compensation for lost or damaged goods, this book will be of relevance to shippers and importers of fresh produce, lawyers acting for commercial clients and underwriters, cargo surveyors, trade bodies around the world representing fresh produce operators, and forwarders wishing to support their clients.
Air Cargo Claims – Aviation Practical Guides
The structure of air cargo claims is highly complex. Claimants may often have difficulty in establishing against whom they should make their claim. With the emphasis on practicality, this text is aimed at the entire air cargo industry from airlines and their insurers to freight forwarders, and importers and exporters. It illustrates the demarcation of responsibilites and liabilities of the various key players in the aviation market, and the contractual responsibilites and the liability implications between the various parties.
