PRACTICE ASSUME IN SHIPPING AND ADMIRALTY LAWS:

- Tort of Conversion
- Maritime liens
- Ship arrests and Releases from arrest.

Ship Arrest:
In Pakistan admiralty jurisdiction is conferred upon the Sindh and Baluchistan High Court under the “Admiralty Jurisdiction of High Court Ordinance 1980”. The 1980’s Ordinance is almost similar to the English Law and therefore it is not complicated to arrest a ship in Pakistan and we have vast experience to handle promptly as Best Admiralty – Shipping – Maritime Lawyers | Top Law Firms Karachi Pakistan. Any Ship or one of her sister ships may be arrested in the case having a proper cause of action and the ship & sister ship available in Pakistani waters.
Cargo claims:
Claims for damage to cargo shipped in international commerce are governed by the Carriage of Goods by Sea Act. One of its key features is that a shipowner is liable for cargo damaged from “hook to hook,” meaning from loading to discharge unless it is exonerated under one of 17 exceptions to liability, such as an “act of God,” the inherent nature of the goods, errors in navigation, and management of the ship. Our services includes all kinds of Cargo Claims and we work as the Best Admiralty – Shipping – Maritime Lawyers | Top Law Firms Karachi Pakistan.
Personal injuries to seamen:
For seamen injured aboard the principle of maintenance and cure was applied. The principle of maintenance and cure requires a shipowner to both pay for an injured seaman’s medical treatment until maximum medical recovery is obtained and provide basic living expenses until completion of the voyage, even if the seaman is no longer aboard the ship. The seaman is entitled to maintenance & cure as of right unless he was injured due to his willful gross negligence. It is similar in some ways to workers’ compensation.
