Marine Litigation

Malta’s strategic geographic position and the fact that it is an important bunkering location with one of the largest free ports in the Mediterranean keeps the Marine Litigation department at Fenech & Fenech Advocates extremely busy advising on situations as they arise.

The department has gained extensive experience in disputes involving the operations of dredgers, tankers, bulk carriers, container ships, reefer ships and reefer containers. Personnel are not only geared and prepared to give advice on the legal issues as they unfold but are also always prepared to offer crisis management.

The department is regularly consulted by the Government on the update of shipping laws in Malta and has contributed to the amendment of numerous shipping laws over the past fifteen years.
