This handbook reprints portions of the old and new title 46, Shipping, and other titles (28, Judiciary and Judicial Procedure, and 49, Transportation) of the United States Code; U.S.-ratified international conventions (e.g., Carriage of Goods by Sea Act (COGSA), International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS)); and unratified conventions (e.g., arrests, liens, collisions). It also contains photoreproductions of documents used in shipping (e.g., insurance, bills of lading, charter parties) and admiralty litigation (e.g., claim forms, vessel arrest papers). Although designed to work with Healy, Sharpe, and Sharpe's Cases on Admiralty, it can be used with any admiralty casebook.
