The Beginning and End of Charters

“Charterer’s Legal Liability”

Author:  David Tantrum

Published:  June 1999

David Tantrum explains the role of the charterer’s surveyor when evaluating damage issues.

David provides guidance in order to reduce confusion and enable the surveyors for all parties to do their jobs.
