International law; International maritime law

The Greek Code of Private Maritime Law, the first English-language translation of Greek Law 5020/2023, which radically overhauled the Greek Code of Private Maritime Law, was painstakingly translated and edited over the course of 2023.

The purpose of this publication is to clarify the Greek legal system for international investors, entrepreneurs and legal practitioners in the shipping industry, providing them with a thoroughly research translation of the entire text of the law rather than piecemeal Articles or the gist and main points.

The translation of the law is accompanied by Greek-to-English and English-to-Greek glossaries of the terms encountered in the Code.

The book includes:

An introduction by Dr Iliana Christodoulou-Varotsi, Senior Legal Consultant & Shipping Industry Trainer; An introduction by Dr Despina Kiltidou, DJur, LL.M., Maritime Training Instructor; An introduction by Nigel P. Ready, Scrivener Notary, and co-author of the translation of the old Code of Private Maritime Law (Law 3816/1958); A detailed foreword by the translators on their approach, methodology and the translational issues faced and resolved. A side-by-side translation of Law 5020/2023, including all amendments and updates until May 2023. Two useful glossaries of the key terminology used in the above texts (Greek-English and English-Greek).

This volume is an indispensable bilingual aid for:

Legal practitioners consulting clients involved in shipping in Greece; Legal departments of shipping companies already set up in Greece; Investors and entrepreneurs intending to incorporate a shipping company in Greece, so that they remain abreast of developments in the field of their legal obligations; Translators translating from and into Greek who require a high-quality reference when consulting either this specific Code or other laws citing it, as well as dependable glossaries; Law and translation students interested in seeing a real-life application of their studies and requiring a reference volume for purposes of terminology and English legal drafting.
