The Law of Tug and Tow has been fully revised to provide an updated source of information for all the important decisions both in the general law of towage and in the general law which affects a significant amount of the text since the last edition six years ago. Particular attention has been paid to: – The Towcon or Towhire forms in particular of the BIMCO ‘knock-for-knock’ liabilities clause, clause 18 – Admirality Jurisdiction – The nature of contract towage Two new chapters have also been added to the book, providing commentary of two further forms; namely: – The international Salvage Union’s ‘Salvacon’ and ‘Salvhire’ forms relating to the sub-contracting of tugs to assist in salvage services – The BIMCO-ISU ‘wreckcon’ which have been recently revised following the reprsentations of the P&I Clubs who chiefly foot the bill for such operations.
