Coal

In recent years we have seen a large increase in the assistance we have been asked to provide related to coal trading and associated disputes, partly in consequence of significant market movements in coal trading and production.

We have in-depth experience of coal transactions and the negotiation of long term sales contracts and COAs as well as extensive dispute credentials having been involved in many international arbitrations arising out of coal contracts.

Our expertise includes:

spot and terms coal contracts on SCoTA and non-SCoTA terms
international coal arbitrations under all the major international rules including ICC, SIAC, CIETAC, LCIA, UNCITRAL and LMAA
carriage and transhipment including COAs and charters
hazardous cargoes
power projects and power purchase agreements
finance and prepayment facilities
