The main focus of this book is the impact of maritime fraud on
contracts for sale and carriage, documentary credits and marine
insurance. It covers all varieties of maritime fraud, from the most
serious downwards, describing the methods employed and the risks to
traders and carriers. At the serious end of the spectrum, pirates
capture an entire ship, often murdering the entire crew, in order
to sell the cargo (to which of course they have no title), later to
use the "innocent" ship to pose as innocent traders. Less serious
(but perhaps of greater interest to lawyers) are misdescriptions of
cargo in, or backdating of, bills of lading, and other deceptions,
usually practised on purchasers and banks.
