Horizon Q&A

What support is available to shipowners, cargo interests or logistics businesses facing maritime issues?

Services may cover cargo transport, marine insurance, vessel transactions and finance, casualties, logistics and maritime security.

This answer is provided in English for convenience. The Chinese version follows it.

Horizon's Maritime & Shipping practice serves shipowners, P&I clubs, ship operators, brokers, charterers, insurers, cargo interests, freight forwarders, port operators and logistics companies.

The work includes sea, coastal and inland-waterway cargo transport, bills of lading and charterparties, vessel and cargo insurance, vessel or large-equipment sale and finance, collisions, pollution and salvage, as well as ship agency, freight forwarding, multimodal transport and logistics.

Where a dispute has arisen or may arise, the team may also assist with general or particular average, vessel arrest and maritime security through contentious or non-contentious work. The appropriate approach depends on the transport documents, contractual terms and facts.
