Description

This book complements the author's previous two books; Flag State Responsibility, Historical Development and Contemporary Issues, 2009, and Merchant Shipping Law; Development of National and Customary Law for Safety of Life at Sea, 2023. Its publication completes a previously uncompiled trilogy dealing with regulation of ships and seafarers from the early nineteenth century. In particular, the international safety standards developed through a series of Safety of Life at Sea Conventions, subsequent to long-forgotten disasters at sea, during the twentieth century, and the formation of international regulatory organizations for safety, prevention of marine pollution and the welfare of seafarers.
