London

Once considered to be the ‘gateway to the world’, London has - and continues to be - an epicentre of global maritime activity. 

Home to the Admiralty Court, as well as the headquarters of numerous P&I clubs, ship owners, insurers and more, London is a hub of maritime arbitration, negotiation and general marine business. 

London maritime facts

• London has been ranked as the third leading maritime city in the world, as per a report compiled by DNV and Menon Economics. 
• London is ranked as the number one centre for maritime finance and law - thanks largely due to it being the home of world-leading institutions such as Lloyds.
• London is ranked as the fifth major centre in the world for maritime research and development and technology. 

London is one of Brookes Bell’s major hubs, being home to a large team of consulting Master Mariners, fuel chemists, scientists, marine engineers, tribologists and more. 

Given our operations in London, Brookes Bell is ideally placed to provide on-the-ground support in cases of arbitration and investigation. For example, we are regularly called upon to provide expert witness support in personal injury cases. 

We are also able to draw upon our wider global team to support more specialist maritime requirements, such as metallurgical consultancy, fire investigation, superyacht consultancy and much more.
