Editorial

After eight years at the helm, Associate Professor Kate Lewins has passed the editorship of the Australian and

New Zealand Maritime Law Journal to the Marine and Shipping Law Unit at the University of Queensland.

Kate and her dedicated Murdoch University team has ensured that the journal has continued to publish

significant and original works that make new contributions to maritime law in its broadest sense, of interest and

impact to the profession and to scholarship. Fortunately Kate’s experience and ed itorial skill is not lost to the

journal and she has kindly agreed to continue as an Associate Editor.

As Director of the Marine and Shipping Law Unit as the TC Beirne School of Law University of Queensland, I

have taken over the helm from Kate, supported by the very able crew of the Marine and Shipping Law Unit.

The Maritime Law Association of Australia and New Zealand has very kindly agreed to support the editorship

of the journal through the provision of funding to support a student editor. This continues the practice that Kate

initiated at Murdoch University, an d enables a bright, energetic and capable student to engage with a wide

range of maritime law issues leading, hopefully, to a new entrant into the maritime law profession in years to

come. In 2014, the student editorship is taken up by Mr Samuel Walpole, an LLB student at the TC Beirne

School of Law who, in this twenty eight edition, has proved to be a most worthy appointment. In what might

have been a difficult transition from one institution to another, Samuel has ensured that the processes,

procedures and standards set by Kate and her team, have passed with ease.

At its new berth in Queensland, I hope the journal will continue to attract excellent submissions and support

from the maritime law fraternity.
