Aims and Objectives
Maritime and Shipping Law can broadly be divided into "dry" and "wet" shipping. The former, deals with contractual and commercial matters covered by modules LW601, 603, 604 and to a certain extent, 619. The latter, which is the focus of this module, deals with incidents on the high seas. As such, matters such as collisions and damage to the vessel and the environment are the main issues of this module. We cover areas such as, collisions, salvage and liabilities of the vessel. In other words, this module looks at general maritime law issues as well as issues relating to the sea itself, rather than purely to the contractual relationships of shipping parties.
