Course Overview
Explore the legal foundations, regulatory frameworks, and practical applications that govern global maritime operations.

Admiralty and maritime law is a specialised field that governs navigation, marine commerce, liabilities, environmental obligations, and dispute resolution on the world’s oceans. This course provides a robust introduction to the principles, jurisdiction, and practice of maritime law, with emphasis on modern compliance requirements and operational realities across the shipping industry.
