Don’t miss the boat!
Shipping Law relates to both to commercial shipping and pleasure boats and or vessels; both sailing and power boats. Its implementation is relevant to local and international waters. Despite the fact that each jurisdiction applies its own shipping law, the majority of these provisions derive and are ruled by private international laws. Due to the increase of yachting and vessels at sea, this area of law is progressively becoming more commonly practiced as countries are developing the “marina lifestyle” and now than ever before are expanding commercial ports to meet the growing market and investor trends. By default, considering the above, the level of sea traffic activity is increasing. Let me explain, there are several subcategories governed under Cyprus Shipping Law such as:-

Marine Commerce

Marine Navigation

Mineral rights

Shipping

Sailors

Salvage

Transportation of Passengers

Transportation of Goods

Commercial Activities

Moreover, there are other issues that may arise under these categories such as:

Personal Injury

Cargo Damage/ Claims

Collision

Recreational Boating Accidents

Product Liability
