Abstract :
This research dives into the expansive realm of maritime law, embarking on a comprehensive exploration that spans historical origins, jurisdictional intricacies, compensatory principles, and international dimensions. Navigating through the annals of legal history, the study begins with the ancient roots of maritime law, encapsulated in the elusive Rhodian law and evolving through medieval European customs. The narrative unfolds further with the establishment of admiralty law in England and Wales, where the Admiralty Court emerges as a distinctive legal entity, blending civil law influences with common law traditions. The jurisdictional landscapes of maritime law in England and Wales, the United States, and Canada add a layer of complexity to the narrative, emphasizing the adaptive nature of legal systems to the global and transboundary nature of maritime activities. The compensatory principles embedded in maritime law, such as maintenance and cure, the doctrine of unseaworthiness, and the Jones Act, underscore the legal framework designed to protect the rights and welfare of individuals engaged in maritime work. International dimensions take center stage as the study explores the role of organizations like the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the development of international conventions. Conventions such as the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), the Standards for Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping (STCW), and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) exemplify collaborative efforts on a global scale to establish standardized norms for maritime operations. The research asserts that maritime law is not merely a static collection of statutes but a dynamic entity that responds to historical, technological, and global developments. The adaptive evolution of admiralty courts, compensatory principles governing seamen’s rights, and the collaborative efforts of nations in international conventions collectively contribute to the resilience and relevance of maritime law in the face of evolving challenges.
