Shipbuilding & Ship Recycling
Construction, sale, conversion, repair and recycling contracts, with regulatory and environmental compliance.
What it is
The vessel lifecycle in Bangladesh runs from the shipyard to the recycling beach, and each stage carries its own contractual, regulatory, environmental and labour obligations. We protect the client's legal and commercial interests across the whole of it.
What this covers
Project & Contract Advisory
Drafting and reviewing shipbuilding, sale, purchase, conversion, repair and recycling agreements, protecting commercial and contractual interests.
Regulatory & Compliance
Advice on maritime regulations, vessel registration, environmental requirements, safety standards, labour obligations and ship-recycling compliance.
Finance & Transaction Support
Assistance with ship financing, mortgages, guarantees, insurance and transaction due diligence.
Risk & Dispute Management
Construction delays, defects, payment disputes, contractual breaches, environmental liabilities and recycling-related claims.
Commercial Advisory
Assessment of project structure, transaction risks, cost exposure, regulatory obligations and commercial viability throughout the vessel lifecycle.
