Maritime Law

Certified Legal Translation for Maritime, Shipping, and Admiralty Law

Maritime law governs one of the most complex and international areas of global commerce — regulating shipping, trade, insurance, and liability across borders.

At Kalite Legal, we specialize in certified translations for maritime and admiralty law documents, ensuring legal precision, consistency, and compliance with international maritime conventions and commercial standards.

Our translators possess deep expertise in maritime law, logistics, and trade, as well as familiarity with the terminology used by organizations such as the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and Lloyd’s Register.

We support law firms, shipping companies, insurance providers, and arbitration institutions with reliable, regulator-accepted translations.
