MARITIME LAW

3. Characteristics of Maritime Law:

1) It is a wide field of law – encompassing numerous national laws, regulations and international conventions.

2) The system is enforced through national laws, but is strongly influenced by conventions and thus can be said to be international in effect.

What are Maritime Conventions?

q Concept: Multilateral Treaties agreed between nation states.

q Intention: to create uniformity between states with respect to formulation of laws and associated regulations.

q Objective: to promote predictability of outcomes & encourage international trade and global business investment.

Who creates Maritime Conventions?

· The 3 principal inter- governmental organisations are:

o Comite Maritime (CMI)

o Intl Maritime Org (IMO)

o Intl Labour Org (ILO)

· Other convention organisations include the ILO and UNCTAD.

· Each organisation acts as the “permanent secretariat” for the conventions it helps create, agree, ratify and bring “into force”.

· See their websites for updated status of ratifications plus full texts of the conventions.

How do Maritime Conventions become national law?

· Depends upon ratifying nation’s constitution and legal process.

· In some countries, ratification can generate immediate application as law in that country e.g. USA.

· In others, e.g. UK and most common law jurisdictions, including Singapore, formal enactment is required by an Act which may apply by using its own words (can be problematic) or by an Act embodying the original convention text (the modern approach).
