The collision of ships is one of the most common accidents at sea, entailing further legal consequences.

This article deals with the limitation of liability in the collision of ships and the distribution of liability between shipowners. The article contains an analysis of possible options for determining the jurisdiction in a collision of courts, as well as the specifics and features of the definition of such jurisdiction.
