The
oceans make up vast areas of the earth’s surface that are under no
governmental control. That’s where maritime law comes into play. There
are zones of the oceans that are controlled by the country on the
nearest shore, but which laws they can enforce vary depending on how far
away from the beach you are.
In
international waters, some things depend on what country your ship is
registered in. Other matters are rules agreed on by various nations, but
it’s rare to get all nations to agree on anything. It gets confusing,
but Wendover Productions makes it as simple as they can as they explain
maritime law to us.
