Navigate Maritime Law with Confidence

The service reviews bills of lading, charter party agreements, sea waybills, cargo insurance certificates, and related shipping documentation. Particular attention is given to compliance with Vietnamese maritime regulations and international conventions such as the Hague-Visby Rules. The review addresses freight payment terms, delivery obligations, carrier liability limitations, and the distinction between clean and claused bills of lading.

Time-sensitive maritime matters receive priority handling given the short limitation periods applicable to maritime claims. The initial assessment typically begins within one business day of receiving the relevant documentation and survey reports. The full scope of investigation coordination and liability assessment depends on the complexity of the incident and the availability of evidence from all parties involved.

The port and vessel regulatory compliance advisory covers all major Vietnamese ports including Da Nang, Hai Phong, Ho Chi Minh City, and other commercial ports throughout Vietnam. The service addresses port state requirements, customs and immigration formalities, environmental regulations including MARPOL annexes, and cabotage restrictions applicable to vessels calling at Vietnamese ports.

The legal analysis considers applicable international maritime conventions including the Hague-Visby Rules for bills of lading, UCP provisions for documentary credits, the ISM Code for safety management, the ISPS Code for port security, and MARPOL annexes for environmental protection. The analysis also incorporates relevant provisions of the Vietnamese Maritime Code and implementing regulations.
