Maritime

These laws can be complicated and tricky for the layman because international law can come into conflict with private shipping law, and other matters can arise. Here you'll find explanations and definitions for admiralty, the law of the sea, maritime law, private shipping law, international law as it pertains to seafaring vessels, sea lanes, and the maritime laws that protect passengers on vessels while on international waters.
