Maritime Law

We often get fascinated by the huge vessels that travel on high seas and turbulent weather conditions but we know so little about Indian law relating to ships. At present, our ships form an integral part of our nation’s military and commercial system. The Indian Navy operates with highly sophisticated vessels to defend our water territory and to fight the enemies. Commercial ships carry millions of tons of cargo across the world. Ships are classified based on their propulsion or based on their uses, such as cargo ships, passenger ships, warships and fishing ships.
