The seaworthiness of merchant ships plays a critical role in
ensuring the safety of life and property and the prevention of
marine pollution. It deals with the fitness and readiness of a ship
and its fundamental ability to sail safely to its destination. The
standards of seaworthiness extend to literally all aspects of a
ship, including the human element, physical structure,
documentation, cargo worthiness and so on. It is one of the most
complicated concepts in the maritime regulatory regime, and it
takes many forms. However, although one of the most important terms
in maritime transportation and ship management, seaworthiness is
not an absolute concept, but a relative one, dependent on the
particular environment, context and facts, and the standards of
seaworthiness have changed greatly with the introduction of new
maritime regulations over the years. The existing literature on
seaworthiness is found within a variety of dedicated articles or
book chapters. This book summarizes all that information in one
publication and provides an update on key books that are now more
than a decade old. In addition, it also offers more detail on
specific aspects that are rarely discussed on their own. The reader
will gain an understanding of the constituent features which colour
its application in sovereign jurisdictions, where each have their
own, often conflicting, social or geopolitical priorities to meet.
Each chapter relies heavily on case studies to illustrate how the
laws which reflect private laws and national policy underpinning
those priorities are applied in practice. This structure then
enables an understanding of the problems in the carriage of goods
by sea, with a view to offering options for solutions. The book is
written to meet the needs of lawyers, maritime professionals and
academics, to thoroughly explain the concept of seaworthiness and
the relevant legal issues.
