National Maritime Law

National Maritime Law refers to the body of laws and regulations that govern activities on the waters of a particular country. It covers various issues like shipping, navigation, and maritime commerce, ensuring safety at sea, environmental protection, and the rights of seafarers. This law also addresses disputes involving ships, cargo, and maritime accidents. Each country may have its own set of maritime laws, often influenced by international treaties, to manage their coastal waters and trade routes effectively. In essence, it helps regulate everything that happens on the seas and oceans under a nation's jurisdiction.
