Synopsis

ISM Code: a guide to the legal and insurance implications remains one of a very small number of works on the ISM Code and the only one specifically addressing the legal and insurance implications. The ISM Code affects everyone involved with commercial shipping. It is the benchmark against which legal liability will be measured - in both civil and criminal actions. Whether you work on board ship or in an office ashore, you should always have this book close to hand for reference. Seven years on from the final deadline for phase one of implementation, this title has been fully updated to reflect developments and industry experience.
