Energy Efficiency Clauses in Charter Party Agreements : Legal and Economic Perspectives and their Application to Ocean Grain Transport EPUB

This book provides practical solutions for addressing energy efficiency as a clause term within a charter party contract.

For this, upon a reflection of the regulatory craft, it analyzes key concepts of case law, and discusses them together with commercial and economic principles.

In this way, the book aims at offering a comprehensive, interdisciplinary view of the chartering process, together with a new approach for safeguarding energy efficiency investments.

A special emphasis is given to the maritime industry.

Here, the newly developed framework, based on game theory, has been successfully applied to demonstrate the importance of including a clause term in contract negotiation to achieve protection against both an uncertain market and an even more challenging shipping environment.

The book not only fills a gap in the literature, covering a topic that has been largely neglected to date, yet it offers researchers and practitioners extensive information to change the chartering processradically.
