Shipping Law

Shipping law, within the broader context of the Law of the Sea, governs maritime activities, including the rights and responsibilities of shipowners, operators, and crews. It deals with issues like shipping contracts, cargo transport, marine insurance, and liability for accidents at sea. Additionally, it addresses international regulations for safety, pollution prevention, and navigation. The aim is to ensure safe and efficient maritime operations while protecting the marine environment and resolving disputes that may arise on the water. Ultimately, shipping law helps facilitate global trade and commerce across oceans and seas.
