Maritime Safety Law

Maritime Safety Law refers to a set of international rules and standards designed to ensure the safety of ships, their crews, and passengers at sea. This includes regulations on ship design, construction, equipment, and operations to prevent accidents and protect the marine environment. Key agreements, such as the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), establish guidelines that countries must follow. By harmonizing safety practices globally, these laws aim to reduce maritime disasters and enhance the overall safety of maritime activities worldwide.
