Maritime Liabilities

Maritime liabilities refer to the legal responsibilities and obligations that arise in the shipping and navigation industries. This includes issues like damage to ships, cargo losses, personal injuries to crew or passengers, and environmental harm caused by oil spills or other pollutants. When incidents occur at sea, maritime law determines who is liable and what compensation is owed. This area of law helps ensure that those who suffer losses due to maritime activities are compensated and encourages safe practices in shipping and navigation.
