Features: International Maritime Law is a new work by William Tetlery, a renowned international maritime law scholar and senior professor at McGill University in Canada. The book not only comprehensively introduces all important international conventions in the field of maritime law but also conducts an in-depth comparative study of maritime legislation and judicial practices in major shipping countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Canada. It also provides a focused introduction to maritime law in four Nordic countries, mainland European countries, and China, as well as other nations. From the perspective of comparative law, this book is an excellent academic and practical work on maritime law. It condenses the knowledge and experience accumulated by the author over more than 50 years engaged in international maritime and maritime legal litigation, legislation, teaching, and writing. The book offers valuable insights into maritime law in major shipping countries, presents a fresh perspective on China's maritime law from the viewpoint of foreign scholars, and is suitable as a textbook or supplementary material for law students studying maritime law. It is also an ideal reference for maritime judges, lawyers, and professionals in maritime, foreign trade, insurance, and related fields, as well as researchers in these areas.
