2007 - 2012

The project aims at in depth studies of selected areas within a wide concept of maritime safety: Safety (average prevention), security (terrorism and piracy) and discharge control. The three areas raise similar jurisdictional and other legal issues, but t he law is not entirely similar, and also teleological analyses may lead to different law in the three areas. The project emphasizes comparative studies between the remarkable different safety systems in the petroleum and maritime sectors, which certainly will reveal differences that are unwarranted, and provide an opportunity for legislators to pick the best of both systems. Surprisingly such a study has not been carried out before. Similarly, the project emphasizes comparative studies across jurisdicti ons. One expect similar benefits to be achieved with this approach.
