About Us

Ruby Maritime

At Ruby Maritime Consultancy, we provide specialised legal and compliance services to shipowners, charterers, and maritime enterprises. Drawing on the expertise of our Chairman, an experienced professional in maritime law and shipping operations, we deliver advice that combines legal precision with practical industry knowledge. Our team assists clients in navigating complex regulatory frameworks, conducting legal reviews of charter parties, sale and purchase agreements, and financing contracts, and ensuring full compliance with international standards, including anti-money laundering requirements.

Alongside core legal services, we offer representation in disputes and claims, from handling insurance recoveries to supporting arbitration and litigation in the UAE and internationally. We prepare technical and financial expert reports for proceedings, ensuring our clients are supported with robust evidence and clear legal strategy. In addition, we prioritise mediation and negotiated settlements to resolve conflicts efficiently, minimising disruption and avoiding costly, prolonged litigation whenever possible.

Our work also includes close supervision of ship management performance, covering budgets, audits, and financial reporting to safeguard ownership interests and improve transparency. We advise on financing structures for acquisitions and refinancing, support due diligence, and oversee secure arrangements for ownership and escrow. Whether engaged for a single transaction or long-term advisory, we remain focused on protecting client interests and aligning strategies with commercial objectives, positioning Ruby Maritime Consultancy as a trusted partner across today’s global maritime sector.

Ruby Maritime handles insurance claims, ensuring our clients receive timely and effective representation throughout the claims process. We offer in-depth legal reviews of charter parties and sale agreements, safeguarding your commercial interests in contractual matters. In cases of dispute, our team also provides mediation services, helping parties resolve issues constructively and without prolonged litigation.
