"Shipping Law may be thought by some to be a narrow branch of the law. But in fact it encompasses large tracts of private law overlaid with international conventions as any visitor to the Admiralty and Commercial Courts in London will discover. Each area of shipping law requires its own specialist text. The new entrant into the business of shipping and international trade, anxious to have some particular area of shipping law explained to him or her, may well have to consult several textbooks before being able to find what he or she is looking for. The value of"Shipping Law for Business People" is that it contains within one volume an easily accessible introduction to each of the many areas of private law which make up shipping law together with an explanation of the role and purpose of the applicable international convention....She (Suchitthra) is to be congratulated in putting into one volume a compendious and concise account of the essentials of shipping law." - The Honourable Mr. Justice Teare, The Royal Courts of Justice, London
