SHIP FINANCE

We regularly advise ship financiers on Malaysian ship finance law. We assist on the registrations of ship mortgages and provide input on their enforcement. We have many publications on Malaysian ship finance law and practice, including co-contributing author on the Malaysian law component of the book “Ship Finance: Singapore and Malaysia” published by Butterworths. We often deliver papers at international conferences including the International Bar Association and Lloyds’ Maritime Academy of London.
