MARITIME & TRANSPORT LAW

OZTURK & PARTNERS are mostly recognized with their knowledge and expertise in maritime and transport law since the establishment of the firm in 1973.

We have been providing legal and business assistance to Turkish and foreign shipowners, brokers, insurance companies, banks, cargo interests, freight forwarders, P&I Clubs, charterers, and all parties to a maritime dispute, including crew and charterers before courts and arbitration tribunals inland and at international venues.

We have arrested and released numerous ships and cargo since 1973. The firm has been involved in general average, forced sales of ships and freight, salvage, wreck removal, ship sale & purchase, negotiations, and arranging the re-shipments and carriage operations of lying idle cargo and containers due to the default of parties to the carriage contract.

Our maritime and transport lawyers have worked at the physical side of marine and transport operations before or during their legal practice.
