The 2026 Shipping Global Practice Guide delivers a comprehensive and authoritative analysis of the evolving maritime legal landscape, offering in-depth insight into maritime legislation, ship finance and leasing structures, marine casualties and limitation of liability, cargo claims, maritime liens and ship arrests, passenger claims, shipowners’ income tax relief, and the complex implications of trade sanctions and international conflict.
The Bahamas chapter of this year’s guide was authored by Partner Richard Horton alongside Associate Emma Van Wynen, whose expertise provides a detailed and practical examination of the jurisdiction’s shipping framework. Their contribution reflects a deep understanding of the legal, regulatory and commercial dynamics shaping one of the world’s leading maritime centres.
