| Summary |
"This unique text provides a comprehensive review of the laws and regulations governing the modern shipmaster, all in one complete volume. The only source which surveys the law in all IMO member states, this book provides an expert comparison of the law of agency for shipmasters and crews across multiple jurisdictions, encompassing liabilities and penalties from around the globe. It uniquely conceives of civil command in nine mutually exclusive, exhaustive, interactive, synthetic legal duties within eponymous chapters underlain by the paramount duties to safety, security, containment and readiness of the vessel within emerging technology. The book opens with a brief history and survey of the law of the shipmaster, both internationally and on a domestic level. The author then expertly addresses vital issues including certification, nationality, and taxation requirements; a comparison of regimes of law of agency for shipmasters and crews across jurisdictions; and an examination of shipmaster duties, liabilities, and penalties in all IMO member states. The insights it provides constitute an invaluable aid to decision making for the modern master and anyone association with this pivotal profession. It proposes a doctrine of command-worthiness for vessels designed for command and for civil commanders trained for them. New to this edition are brand new chapters on : criminalization. Third parties at sea : pirates, refugees, and stowaways. Shipyards and other vendors. Fishing and offshore. Insurance. Maritime security, foreign navies, coastguards and customs Port agents It offers cost-effective alternatives to wholly-automated vessels, such as using the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (U.S.A.) model of precise mission preplanning and control with the mission plan, and a digital twin of every vessel for the use of the civil commander, management, shipyards and trainers. This book is an invaluable reference for shipmasters, maritime lawyers, and students of maritime law worldwide"-- Provided by publisher |
