We draft customized maritime contracts for the most demanding applications. We also negotiate contracts that our clients or their own customers may propose, whether those contracts are in-house forms like master service contracts or blanket time charters, or industry-standard templates like BIMCO’s SUPPLYTIME, TOWCON and BARECON forms.
