Features: Economic globalization has become an objective trend that cannot be influenced by people's will. The exchanges and cooperation in the international insurance industry have become increasingly close and strengthened. After China joined the WTO, the insurance market will be fully opened to foreign investment. The impact and shock of foreign insurance companies on the development of China's insurance industry will be unprecedented. Facing such a severe situation and challenges, the Chinese insurance industry must take countermeasures, adapt to changes, and embrace challenges to achieve leapfrog development in China's insurance industry. Marine Insurance and Claims and Settlements was written under these circumstances. This book is divided into three parts. The first part is Marine Insurance Contracts, which conducts an in-depth study of the basic theories of marine insurance, transportation cargo insurance, ship insurance, liability and indemnity insurance, compulsory liability insurance, marine oil development insurance, and British marine insurance contracts. The second part is Marine Insurance Practice, which provides a detailed explanation of underwriting and risk acceptance, marine insurance claims, marine insurance settlements, subrogation and assignment in marine insurance, marine insurance recovery, and the resolution of marine insurance disputes. The third part is Relevant Legal Systems of Marine Insurance, which briefly outlines the relationship between legal systems such as bills of lading, general average, ship collisions, salvage at sea, and maritime liability limitation and marine legal systems.
