Practice Area
SHIPPING

At Smallegange Lawyers, we maintain a shipping practice in all its distinctions. This means that we do not only handle transport cases, such as cargo claims and charter disputes, but also the maritime incidents, such as collisions (maritime and inland), salvage, general average and wreck removal matters. Due to our many years of expertise, we have in-depth knowledge and experience of the global limitation of liability of shipowners.

We act for both market parties themselves (shipowners, carriers, salvage companies and cargo owners) and their insurers.
