Ship Sale, Purchase and Escrow Services
We provide end-to-end legal support on ship transactions—from newbuilds to second-hand sales—covering shipbuilding, registration, reflagging, and escrow services. Acting for shipowners, builders, and financial institutions, we offer cross-jurisdictional advice under Singapore and English law, including for Singapore- and convenience-flagged vessels, backed by strong commercial and practical insight beyond our recognised expertise in ship finance.
