Flag State Responsibility: Historical Development and Contemporary Issues

Flag State Responsibility: Historical Development and Contemporary Issues
Publisher: Springer | 2009-06-04 | ISBN: 3540929320 | PDF | 269 pages | 5.20 MB

The historical development of tonnage, ship registration, classification societies and national and international law for flag State responsibility is recounted, along with the large increase in numbers of non-traditional flag States and classification societies over the past fifty years. The Law of the Sea Convention provides for a State to grant its nationality to ships, for those ships to be surveyed before registration, and for a flag State to effectively exercise its jurisdiction and control in administrative, technical and social matters over ships flying its flag. A State has the sovereign right to determine conditions for grant of its nationality and this can lead to derogation of flag State responsibility with implications for safety of ships.
