Our Associate, Budoor Al Halwachi elaborates on the limitation rights of ship owners & the protection provided under Maritime Law.

The Kingdom of Bahrain issued Decree-Law No. 10 of 2022 Promulgating the Maritime Law (the "Maritime Law" or the "Law"), where a distinctive feature of the Law is to afford protection – or to limit the liability – of Ship Owners and other connected to the shipping industry. This has recently been considered as cargo interests in the region pursued recoveries following the capsizing of the car carrier Golden Ray and the blockage of the Suez Canal by the Ever Given. While Volume I of the Maritime Knowledge Series covers Key Concepts, in this Volume – we discuss the application of the limitation rights of Ship Owners and the protection provided under the Maritime Law with the new generation of megaships navigating the waters of the region.
