چکیده
The existence and enforcement of legal regulations is imperative of maritime navigation. All legal regulations relating to maritime security and whose goal is securing the safety at sea, can be divided to regulations relating to navigable vessels, regulations relating to cargo carried by ships; regulations governing maintenance of waterways; regulations relating to human factor (regulations concerning education, schooling, training of naval personnel) and regulations relating to supervision, i.e. control of maritime security. In this paper, the author particularly analyses legal regulations relating to ship safety. First, the author defines the concept of maritime security and indicates its differentiation from similar concepts like safety of navigation, safe trade and maritime security. Then, she talks about seaworthiness and the most common risks whose realization would lead to endangering ship safety, cargo and human lives. In conclusion, the author emphasizes the importance and necessity of exercising control over ships in order to verify compliance with the standards laid down by international conventions.
