Description

The maritime industry has undergone significant changes since the Titanic disaster in 1912. This comprehensive guide explores the link between major maritime casualties and resulting regulatory changes over the last hundred years. The book examines the trends and reactions across decades, shifting focus from equipment failures to people and their behaviors as the primary cause of maritime accidents. It also delves into the alarming increase in the criminalization of maritime accidents, including the reclassification of pollution incidents as "environmental crimes." This thorough analysis offers broad insight into the history, laws, and conventions that regulate worldwide commercial maritime activity, providing valuable information for those working in the industry.
