Marine Environmental Law
This module studies the international regulatory framework for the marine environment, its achievements, shortcomings and future challenges. The law of the marine environment has taken shape over several decades, responding to challenges caused by shipping incidents as well as other sources of pollution, and has become a complex framework of international conventions, developed through international consensus, and reinforced through technical developments in the committees of the International Maritime Organisation and other regional organisations. As regulation through conventions is a long and slow process and consensus-dependant, the framework is often insufficient to tackle immediate challenges such as climate change and ocean plastic pollution. In addition, compliance and enforcement are hampered by a variety of factors. We look at the international regulatory framework for shipping and the environment as well as factors preventing enforcement. -

Marine Hydrodynamics
This module extends the fundamentals of fluid mechanics in the context of naval architecture and ocean engineering including water waves and the fluid loading and motion of maritime structures and vessels in waves. Students will assess the concepts of added mass, wave forces, ship roll and seakeeping by developing the conceptual, mathematical, and computational techniques needed for their evaluation. There are two assignments which integrate added mass, roll damping and seakeeping response through numerical and experimental applications to a real floating vessel. -

Marine Insurance: Cover and Practice
London has a strong marine insurance and reinsurance market. The English law on marine insurance developed by the market and by the judiciary have influenced the legal principles of marine insurance globally. This module introduces marine insurance practice and marine cover, and considers the main legal issues arising from claims and the further developments of English law through cases.
We will focus on specific types of risks and losses which a ship owner or a cargo owner will usually seek to cover in the marine insurance market, most notably partial or total loss of property and collision liability insurance under a hull and machinery policy; expenses and liability insurance from a P & I Club and also the range of cover which cargo interests may obtain. The key standard form contracts used in the London market are analysed and evaluated.
This module will also look into some legal principles relating to insurance claims and liability in detail, notably causation and third party issues arising insurance claims including direct claims against insurers and insurers’ subrogated claims against wrongful third parties.
