International maritime law in transition: New challenges for education and training

Edgar Gold

Marine Policy, 1989, vol. 13, issue 3, 178-192

Abstract: The extended base of maritime law has moved far beyond its traditional commercial base and today includes a number of important aspects of the law of the sea, environmental law and policy, labour law and policy in other areas. Maritime education and training curricula in place in most states of the world have not kept pace with this expansion. This article examines the extended base of modern maritime law and recommends that maritime education and training must today include a greatly increased portion of legal and policy knowledge in order to ensure the overall competency of those who operate vessels in an ever-more complex maritime era.
