4 02 OUR MARITIME TAX PRACTICE Understanding industry fundamentals Our work in the industry over the last 30 years has given us contacts across the full range of participants and unrivalled knowledge of the key fundamentals of the industry. We understand maritime assets and how they can be used as effective diversifiers in a balanced portfolio and we understand how to best structure a maritime investment to protect cash flows and secure a viable exit strategy, which is particularly important in view of the depreciating nature of these assets. Cross border perspective We have a presence in all the major shipping centres and shipping finance lawyers across our offices worldwide. Across these jurisdictions, and in the wider international market, we have seen virtually every type of transaction for every type of industry participant. Tonnage tax Tonnage tax is a unique system of taxation in the UK and certain other jurisdictions, applicable to the shipping industry. With very few advisers in this area, our team has acted for more companies which have entered the UK tonnage tax regime than any other law firm.
