<p>"This is an especially useful book on an increasingly important subject-the application, interpretation and outworking of maritime law in the People's Republic of China (PRC)...The authors must be congratulated on their hard work in pooling together so many PRC cases and weaving them so expertly into the body of legal rules."</p><p><em>The Journal of International Maritime Law</em></p><p>"[Maritime Law and Practice in China] is comprehensive, well-informed and well-arranged, and will be an important source of information for foreign practitioners in the increasing numbers of maritime cases before the Chinese courts and arbitration tribunals."</p><p><em>Ian Gaunt, President of the LMAA</em></p>

A comprehensive treatment of Chinese maritime law and judicial practice, this book covers both substantive law and procedure law of maritime law in mainland China. This is a professional book for both academics and practitioners in the field of maritime law.

Including analysis of and comment on judicial practice from the Supreme People’s Court, Higher People’s Courts and ten maritime courts, as well as a whitepaper of Chinese maritime adjudication for 30 years (1984-2014), this brings to an English-speaking audience for the first time some of the most technical aspects of maritime law. It is therefore an invaluable resource for all those interested in maritime law in China.
