José Miguel Oliveira and Kenny Laisse are the authors of the chapter on Mozambique of the "Shipping 2024" guide, published by Chambers and Partners in the Chambers Global Practice Guides segment.

The "Shipping 2024" guide analyses maritime transport legislation and regulations in different jurisdictions, covering topics such as the port state control regime, marine casualties and owners' liability, cargo claims, maritime liens and ship arrests, passenger claims, ship-owners' income tax relief and the implications of environmental regulations, trade sanctions and international conflict.

In the chapter "Mozambique: Law & Practice and Trends & Developments", José Miguel Oliveira and Kenny Laisse say that the Mozambican shipbuilding industry has recently experienced several challenges and is a critical sector for Mozambique's economic growth. However, "the country is increasingly becoming fertile ground for shipping contracts and legal action on maritime liens. The Mozambican government is investing in infrastructure improvements aimed at enhancing the country’s connectivity and competitiveness in the regional and international markets”, state the lawyers.
