Law of Marine Safety

The Law of Marine Safety, within the context of the Law of the Sea, refers to regulations and practices designed to protect ships, crews, passengers, and the marine environment. It includes ensuring safe navigation, preventing maritime accidents, and responding to emergencies at sea. Various international treaties and agreements, such as the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), establish standards for ship design, equipment, and operational procedures. These laws help maintain safety on the waters, promote responsible maritime activities, and minimize risks associated with shipping and marine operations.
