Download or read book The Law of Wreck written by Nicholas Gaskell and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 1024 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers wreck law as an integrated whole, going beyond the question of "removal" to include issues such as the ownership of wreck and how the law deals with the many commercial law problems arising after ships have been wrecked during the maritime commercial adventure. The book offers authoritative guidance on the genesis and meaning of the Nairobi Wreck Removal Convention 2007, and the interpretation of its often-complex provisions as they apply both to States trying to use its powers and to shipowners and liability insurers faced by its obligations. The authors explain the increasingly complex inter-relationship between linked areas of maritime law, including salvage, intervention and the overlapping international regimes which deal with pollution from oil, bunkers or hazardous and noxious substances. The book examines how a salvage operation transitions to wreck removal and links the liability provisions with the standard form international commercial contracts actually used by the industry to remove wrecks, eg BIMCO’s Wreckstage 2010, Wreckhire 2010 and Wreckfixed 2010. It also covers the complex requirements concerning the disposal of wrecks, including the latest recycling regulations applicable in 2019. The Law of Wreck will be of value to shipping industry professionals, insurers and legal practitioners, as well as academics and students of maritime law.

When an old enemy of the city of Ashdale emerges, Ben is thrown into the chaos of a violent and lethal danger. Shocked by the cruelty of man, he begins to care more than he thought possible. When visions of old memories impose on him with more force than ever before, he begins to suspect the body he occupies can take no more of his presence. Peter’s familiar and safe world changed the day Ben lost his memory. Now he must face not only the prospect of his friend never coming back but the existence of people with otherworldly abilities as well.

But as Evy, an elusive and distrustful woman on the run, gets entangled in their mission, Ben and Peter find themselves hunted by people with mystical skills and dangerous employers. While on the run in a scarred and wounded city, Ben and his friends must work together to survive. As Ben can’t contain his increasing powers, the body begins to give in. With the imminent threat, Ben is unsure if dying will send him back to his old existence or somewhere else entirely. Can he even survive death?
