Disputes & Regulatory
Admiralty & Shipping
Ship arrest, cargo claims, charterparty disputes and shipbreaking work out of Chattogram — a practice the firm has run since 1987.
Admiralty jurisdiction in Bangladesh is exercised by the High Court Division under the Admiralty Court Act 2000. Chattogram is the operational centre: the country's main container port and the world's largest shipbreaking market both sit there, and the firm has maintained a Chattogram office since 1987.
We act for owners, charterers, cargo interests, P&I clubs and recyclers on arrest and release, cargo and collision claims, charterparty and bill of lading disputes, and the regulatory side of vessel import and recycling.
