“The comparative perspective, employed with great effectiveness to illuminate both similarities and differences between legal systems, provides the reader with an almost holistic understanding of contemporary lex maritima. As such, it is exceptionally well-suited for academic training and, perhaps even more importantly, serves as an invaluable resource for professionals navigating the ever-evolving landscape of maritime regulation and jurisprudence.” Professor Marko Pavliha, European Transport Law

For that reason, the book should inspire other scholars—whether in maritime law or beyond—to recognise the value of adopting a comparative lens in legal scholarship." Siqi Sun, School of Law, Shanghai Maritime University, Shanghai, Peoples’ Republic of China and Ran He, Law Department, Korea University, Seoul, Republic of Korea
