Admiralty law, also known as maritime law, governs legal matters related to navigation and shipping on oceans, rivers, and lakes. It covers a range of issues, including shipping contracts, maritime injuries, and disputes involving cargo and freight. This area of law ensures that international trade and commerce can proceed smoothly by providing a legal framework for resolving conflicts. Key aspects include liability for accidents at sea, rights and duties of shipowners and crew, and regulations concerning shipping safety. Admiralty law can involve both national and international regulations, reflecting the global nature of maritime activities.
