Biography

Barış Soyer is the Director of Institute of International Shipping and Trade Law (Swansea University) and author/editor of several books published in the fields of maritime and insurance law.

"There are many texts, some old, some new, dealing with the conditions for liability in shipping law but few, if any, deal in great detail with the important question of remedies as completely and satisfyingly as this book does. However large a shipping lawyer's library of the canonical texts on key areas of practice, this book will surely add something of value to it."
