about

Notes, guides and the latest developments in maritime law, trade and the markets — written from 8+ years in the sector. Most of what you'll read here comes from the practical side, and I try to keep it as commercially useful as possible.

I'm a lawyer based in Istanbul, with a keen interest in global developments and technology. From time to time you'll find notes outside maritime as well.

what I write about

• maritime law — cases and practical guides
• maritime trade — freight, cargo and the market
• the economy — FX, rates and the macro backdrop
• technical — notes for people who move cargo
