Terminal and Stevedoring Contracts

Especially in container shipping, terminal contracts between shipping companies and terminals are of central economic importance for both sides, and are usually concluded for the long term. We assist you with the negotiation of such terminal contracts and work with you on their concrete formulation.

Unfortunately, damage to container gantry cranes or other terminal equipment or damage to ships caused by terminal equipment, is an everyday occurrence of cargo operations. We have represented ship owners and operators in relation to such incidents in various German and overseas ports.  

We are at your service be it when disputes arise between terminals and cargo receivers which require the negotiation of release of cargo; or, where you face substantial claims for container demurrage, or, damages for loss resulting from packaging, stowage or dangerous cargo.
