Maritime Law

The Maritime law encompasses all there is to the rules and regulations that govern all the maritime activities of both domestic regulations that guide operators of maritime activities locally and the private companies that operate over international waters. Matters that are concerned in maritime law includes marine commerce, navigation, and agreements that are necessary for sailors, shipping, transportation of goods and services etc. maritime law is also known as admiralty law. There are also a lot of land-based dealings that are under the jurisdiction of maritime law as they are maritime in character. Although each region has a certain jurisdiction especially in waters in their territory, admiralty law is largely influenced by international laws that regulate international waters.

To put it in perspective, for instance, if there happens to be an accident on the seas that caused damage to cargo, ship and perhaps hazard to sailors and seamen and even oil spills. Maritime law is the area of law that can deal with the consequences that may arise from such situations. Maritime law also applies to towage contracts, activities on the waters that are criminal in nature like oil spills, piracy, human trafficking and generally all other criminal activities on the seas. The government formulates the law that guides maritime activities in a country either through the legislative arm or through executive orders.

The most recurring maritime activity on the oceans is conveying cargo through the open seas. Maritime law also deals with complications that may arise from salvage awards. Salvaging is recovering shipwrecks or any other thing that has been recovered on or under the sea. Maritime law also provides provision for sailors and seamen who suffer a personal injury while working on the seas.
