What is shipping law?

​

Shipping law is the area of law that relates to matters relevant to transportation by sea. Shipping law is heavily regulated by international law (maritime law) and is also interconnected with other disciplines such as construction, financing and insurance.

 

This area of law governs issues related to charter agreements, agreements related to the carriage of goods and persons, the construction and funding of ports and ships, and accidents on the high seas.
