Maritime Law

Maritime law covers a broad spectrum of legal matters tied to the sea, including shipping, navigation, and marine commerce. In India, this area is governed by national statutes such as the Indian Ports Act, 1908, and the Merchant Shipping Act, 1958. As the shipping industry continues to globalize, having access to specialized legal expertise in maritime law is essential for businesses and individuals engaged in maritime activities.
