Maritime Law

Maritime Law, also known as admiralty law, is a complex and intricate body of legal principles governing nautical matters, disputes, and offenses. 

In the United Arab Emirates (UAE), as in many other maritime nations, this specialized field of law regulates domestic and private international matters concerning maritime activities, with a primary focus on commercial aspects. It is essential to distinguish maritime law from its public international counterpart, the Law of the Sea, which primarily deals with sovereign rights over the world’s oceans. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) serves as the principal authority in overseeing and maintaining maritime agreements, ensuring their currency and amendment when necessary.
