Legal Field Avocats handles maritime disputes before the Senegalese courts for shippers, transport intermediaries and shipping companies, at the port of Dakar and beyond.
Areas handled
- Liability of the sea carrier;
- Damage to and loss of cargo, delay and commercial loss;
- Bills of lading and transport documents;
- Conservatory arrest of ships;
- Recovery of freight claims;
- Liability of stevedores and cargo handlers;
- Disputes with port authorities and port customs litigation;
- Charter parties;
- Marine insurance and subrogated recourse;
- Arbitration and alternative dispute resolution.
Act quickly
In maritime matters, the time limits for lodging reservations on delivery and for bringing proceedings are short. Damaged cargo must be surveyed without delay, and evidence gathered as soon as it is unloaded. A conservatory arrest of a ship can secure a claim before the ship leaves port.
How we help
We step in as soon as the loss occurs: survey, reservations, claims against the carrier or the stevedore, negotiation with insurers, then court or arbitration proceedings if necessary.
