Kuzay Cengiz Karabüber's new book offers vital insights on maritime accidents and insurance, essential for professionals in the industry.
STRATEGIC CONTRIBUTION TO THE MARITIME LAW LIBRARY BY A YOUNG LAWYER
The maritime sector is known not only as the backbone of global trade but also for its high risks and multi-layered legal processes. One of the young and productive figures in maritime law, Attorney Kuzay Cengiz Karabüber, has introduced his work titled 'Damages Arising from Collisions and Other Maritime Accidents and Insurance Coverage,' which scrutinizes one of the most technical issues in the sector: maritime accidents and insurance law. This work, which will be available on the shelves with the label of Seçkin Publishing as of February 2026, serves not only as an academic text but also as a strategic guide that should be present at every level, from the captain's bridge to the operations offices.
THE HIDDEN COSTS AND LEGAL DIMENSIONS OF ACCIDENTS
Despite modern technology and advanced navigation devices, the phenomenon of collisions, or the crashing of ships, continues to be one of the greatest risk factors in maritime operations. In his work, Attorney Kuzay Karabüber elaborates on the legal responsibilities that arise from these accidents in light of the Turkish Commercial Code and international agreements. The book analyzes various types of damages, such as ship loss, depreciation, wreck removal costs, loss of profit, and environmental pollution, clearly outlining which types of insurance can cover these damages.
Speaking to the website www.denizkartali.com, Attorney Karabüber expressed the scope and purpose of the book with the following words:
'This book aims to examine the damages arising from collisions and other maritime accidents in detail within the framework of Turkish and international law, explaining the scope of insurance coverage in all its aspects. I wanted to evaluate the range of damages from material loss and damage on ships to cargo damages, from environmental pollution to litigation costs. I addressed the roles of hull and machinery (H&M) insurance, P&I (Protection and Indemnity) insurance, and financial liability insurance in practice.'
HOLISTIC APPROACH IN INSURANCE COVERAGE
One of the strongest aspects of the work is its holistic perspective on insurance law. Karabüber comprehensively examines hull and machinery (H&M) insurance, P&I insurance, and financial liability insurance through their practical roles. The author evaluates a wide range of damages, from material damages occurring on ships to cargo losses, from environmental pollution to litigation costs, clarifying the critical balance between hull insurance and P&I coverages as well as the recourse processes. Technical details, especially the frequently encountered 'Sistership' clause and the impact of fault ratios on compensation payments, provide the reader with a practical perspective.
A LASTING LEGACY IN SECTORAL MEMORY
Industry representatives emphasize the importance of leaving a lasting work in a field where technical and legal dynamics change rapidly, stating that Karabüber’s work will meet a significant need in both academic and practical fields. The book covers a wide chronology, starting from historical processes to current applications of the Turkish Commercial Code. This 180-page dense content serves as a fundamental reference source for maritime lawyers and industry stakeholders by addressing the development process of collisions in light of evidence identification cases, precautionary seizure applications, and international rules.
