Shipping, Admiralty and Marine InsuranceA.G. Erotocritou LLC has extensive experience advising across the full spectrum of shipping and maritime-related matters, acting for a diverse international client base including banks, financial institutions, ship owners and managers, charterers, trading houses, insurers (such as Marsh) and P&I clubs. Amongst others, the firm is the exclusive legal advisor of the Cyprus Shipping Association and of U.S.C. United Stevedoring Company Limited.
Our practice combines strong contentious capabilities with deep sector knowledge of the shipping industry, enabling us to advise on both complex admiralty disputes and the full range of transactional and financing arrangements involving vessels and maritime assets.
We regularly act in high-value shipping disputes, including disputes involving shipowners, charterers, cargo interests, insurers and other maritime stakeholders. Our experience includes complex cross-border litigation with a significant enforcement and asset preservation element, including ship arrest and related interim relief measures.
On the non-contentious side, we advise extensively on non-contentious shipping matters, including vessel acquisitions and disposals, shipbuilding contracts, charterparty arrangements, ship management structures and registration requirements. In addition, our shipping finance practice is well established and includes advising banks, financial institutions and investors on a wide range of maritime financing transactions. This includes drafting and negotiating loan and security documentation, mortgages over Cyprus-flagged vessels, guarantees and related security packages, as well as providing legal opinions on complex cross-border ship finance transactions.
Finally, our marine insurance expertise covers a broad range of coverage issues, including hull, cargo and freight, war risks, and liability policies for owners, charterers and ship repairers, as well as disputes arising under marine insurance contracts and related recovery actions.
