Maritime Law

Maritime Law
Maritime trade and shipping are a major part of the Latvian economy. Skudra & Udris have been instrumental in cases involving ship arrests, representing claimants seeking to secure payment for fuel and supplies and respondents opposing arrest. The firm represents all sides involved in disputes over the ownership of ships, collision, marine insurance, crew claims, charter parties and carriage of goods. We also provide legal advice and assistance on transactional aspects (sale/purchase, mortgaging of the vessel), title searches, documentation (such as bills of lading) as well as submissions and registration with the Latvian Ship Register.
