Subject: Maritime Law Course: Maritime
Law

Duration January- May, 2019 Subject code:

: LLBD 311

A. OBJECTIVES:

1. Description: A study of any subject mandates the comprehension of the contours of its
ratione materie. Therefore, it is important to delineate the content and subject matter of
subject, especially if it is being offered as electives, so that students could make an informed
choice of the subject they are choosing to learn. Now the question arises what is maritime
law? First and foremost, Maritime Law has a synonym in Admiralty Law, i.e. these two terns
have been used interchangeably. It is also called as Shipping Law. Black’s Law Dictionary
defines Maritime Law as, “Law governing sea or seaport bound actions conducted and
commerce transacted defines maritime law. Registration, license and inspection procedures
for ships and shipping and contracts, insurance and carriage of goods and passengers are
included.” This definition pretty much sums up the course contents and construction of
detailed course module.

2. Why Maritime Law: International Maritime Organization provides that over 90% of world
trade is carried and transacted by sea. The data speaks for itself as to how acute is maritime
law for world economy. Thus, maritime transport forms the backbone of international
economy and trade as it plays important role in alleviation of extreme poverty and hunger.
Nevertheless, 90 percent of world trade and economy is not easy to govern and regulate
given the complex nature of world order based on nation states. In Indian context the
significance and importance of Maritime Law is increased manifold. India is a peninsula, i.e. it
surrounded by the seas and oceans from three sides. The length of Indian Coastline is 7516.6
km of which mainland is coastline is 5422.6km and island territories are 2094 km long. Area
of Indian Continental shelf is s 3,72,424 square kilometer. Territorial sea (up to 12 nautical
miles) is 1,93,834 square kilometer. India has Exclusive Economic Zone of 2.02x106 million
square kilometer. There are nine coastal states and two Union Territories (UTs), which can be
termed as maritime states and UTs. The quintessential geographical location of India and
importance of maritime trade and economy is sufficient to establish the significance of
maritime law for law students in India, also for engineers. There are two layers that
constitute the regulation and governance of maritime law one is municipal and another is
transnational. The

3. Objective: The course would aim to inform students about the various participants and
subject matter of maritime law. The major participant of maritime law is ship and the goods
that it carries to various destinations. The transaction therefore starts from building ship

School Of Law Jan-May,2019

 (hull), to contracting it, lading it with goods and delivering the goods to its ultimate
destination. This process further involves many parties and sub transactions such as bankers,
and insurers. Maritime law essentially is subject matter of municipal law of various countries
however there is international framework present to streamline plurality of municipal laws.
Accordingly this course is divided into two categories municipal law of India and overarching
international legal framework. Major emphasis would be to familiarize the students with the
various statutes governing the maritime law in India.

1. Define and explain the fundamentals of maritime law, viz, rationae materie and rationae

 The pedagogy would essential involve dialogue between the faculty and students. Students
would be required to come with readings in advanced; it would be followed by discussion,
arguments and extrapolation of the subject and its correlation with topic being discussed.

Students would be encouraged to look a holistic view of law and would be discouraged to
treat it in silos. Interrelation of the topic with other subjects, which are relevant to maritime
law, would be the USP of the pedagogy. Pedagogy would be participative in nature and never
a monologue. Cognitive learning would be supplemented by motivating students through
means that keep his interest in the subject intact and is sustainable.

inexplicable reasons
