The book should be read by everyone involved in operating ships, whether ashore or onboard, as well as those involved in providing marine insurance. It will also be of interest and value to other stakeholders, such as those working within Administrations, Recognised Organisations, Port State Control and similar interested parties."Koji Sekimizu previous Secretary General of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO)"This is, unambiguously, an exemplary, relevant and useful monograph which deserves its place in any shipping library, whether the focus is on law or management. The Code is an impetus to better ship management and has ramifications for many areas of shipping law. A familiarity with the substance and potential impact of the Code is essential learning for the shipping industry and maritime lawyers. There can be no better source of instruction and guidance than this monograph." Journal of International Maritime Law
