Turkish Maritime Law

Turkey is a major maritime nation, with a long history of sea trading and shipping. Turkish Maritime Law governs all aspects of maritime activities in the country, from shipping and cargo transportation to fishing and yacht charters.

If you're a foreigner who is involved in maritime activities in Turkey, it's important to have a good understanding of Turkish Maritime Law. Here are some key points to keep in mind:

• Maritime accidents: In case of maritime accidents, the Turkish Maritime Law stipulates the rights and responsibilities of the parties involved. Maritime accidents can include collisions, grounding, fires, and oil spills. Turkish Maritime Law covers the liability of shipowners, cargo owners, and other parties in such incidents.

• Maritime contracts: Turkish Maritime Law regulates the different types of maritime contracts, such as charter parties, bills of lading, and maritime insurance policies. These contracts define the terms of the transaction, such as the price, the duration of the contract, and the obligations of the parties involved.

• Maritime disputes: If a dispute arises in relation to a maritime contract or incident, Turkish Maritime Law provides for dispute resolution mechanisms, such as arbitration or litigation. It's important to seek legal advice from experienced maritime lawyers who can guide you through the dispute resolution process.
