Maritime Liability Law

Maritime Liability Law is a branch of international law that deals with responsibilities and legal obligations of parties involved in maritime activities, like shipping and navigation. It ensures that those harmed by maritime incidents—such as collisions, cargo damage, or oil spills—can seek compensation. This law establishes rules about liability, helping determine who is at fault and what damages must be paid. It covers various issues, including the rights of shipowners, crew members, passengers, and cargo owners, aiming to promote safety and accountability in international waters and maritime operations.
