| 单词 | Maritime law |
| 释义 | 海事法 The law dealing with all of the activities and affairs in relation to the sea and navigable waters, including navigation, ships, sailors, carriage of passengers and property by sea, and other general marine affairs. It is greatly influenced by international customs and practices. For example, the use of bills of lading in international trade, and charterparties in ship chartering. The international customs and practices of seamen, such as the navigation rules, shape and colour of lights exhibited by ships, were developed into the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea 1972 (the ‘Collision Regulations’). Apart from customs and practices, Maritime law consists of (a) domestic law and statutes, such as Shipping and Port Control Ordinance (Cap 313), and Pilotage Ordinance (Cap 84); and (b) international conventions, which are implemented by local statutes. For example, the Collision Regulations are enacted by the Merchant Shipping (Safety) (Signals of Distress and Prevention of Collisions) Regulations (Cap 369N). See also Admiralty jurisdiction; Admiralty law; Affreightment; Average; Harbour; Maritime claim; Salvage; Seaman; Ship. 指處理所有有關海上或通航水域的活動與事務的法律，包括航行、船隻、海員、以海路運輸乘客及財產，及其他一般的海上事務。它受國際習俗和慣例重大的影響。例如：就國際貿易所使用的電子提單、船舶租賃的租船合約。海員的國際習俗和慣例，如航行規則、船隻所展示的燈光形狀與顏色，已發展為《1972年國際海上避碰規則》(即碰撞規例)。除了習俗和慣例外，海事法亦包括 (a) 本地法律與法規，如《船舶及港口管制條例》(第313章)、《領港條例》(第84章)；(b) 由本地法規實施的國際公約。例如碰撞規例由商船（安全）（遇險訊號及避碰）規例（第369N章）制定。另見 Admiralty jurisdiction; Admiralty law; Affreightment; Average; Harbour; Maritime claim; Salvage; Seaman; Ship。 |
