Features: With the formation and development of global economic integration, human maritime activities have become increasingly diverse and complex. The vigorous growth of the marine economy and the growing emphasis on marine environmental protection have led to an increasing number of social relationships requiring legal regulation and adjustment. To directly reflect the latest developments in international maritime legislation and facilitate the alignment of legislation, judicial practice, and international standards in relevant fields in China, this book is divided into six parts and sixteen chapters, systematically studying the following three types of situations: First, it examines relatively stable legal systems or issues that are unlikely to change significantly in the short term, such as the legal system of general average, the legal system of ships and crew, etc. Second, it investigates issues with international disputes that require unification, such as the legal system of maritime cargo transportation and the legal system of maritime passenger transportation. Third, it addresses urgent issues that China must resolve or weak areas in domestic maritime legislation that have already been initiated internationally, such as the legal system of shipping management, the legal system of compensation for oil pollution damage from ships, the legal system of salvaging sunken ships and wreckages, and the legal system of maritime crimes. As a specialized monograph on international maritime legislation, it is suitable for reference by departments such as legislation, judiciary, diplomacy, marine affairs, fisheries, marine oil, as well as faculty and students of relevant universities and colleges and professionals in international law.
