maritime legal skills by jurisdiction

A vessel arrest, a collision liability dispute, or a cargo claim under a bill of lading can move simultaneously through courts in multiple jurisdictions — Hamburg, Singapore, Rotterdam, New York — because the sea does not recognise borders. Maritime law sits at this intersection of national statutes, international conventions such as the Hague-Visby Rules and the LLMC, and entrenched admiralty court doctrine, making precise, jurisdiction-aware work essential at every stage. The maritime legal skills collected in the ThomasMore catalog are agent-ready capabilities built for exactly that complexity, covering ship finance, charterparty drafting and disputes, port-state control, cargo claims, salvage, and marine insurance across the jurisdictions where this practice concentrates.

Each skill runs over MCP or downloads directly, so whether you are vetting a bareboat charter clause at midnight or assembling a port-delay damages analysis before arbitration, the capability integrates into your workflow without friction. The collection spans both civil-law and common-law admiralty traditions, and open-source contributors maintain the skills as IMO instruments, domestic shipping acts, and court practice directions develop. Filter by jurisdiction to focus on a specific flag state, registry, or court seat — or work across the full catalog to map a multi-forum dispute from arrest to enforcement.
