Is the United States Under Maritime Law?

[Mindful]

Maritime law is a set of laws that covers all kinds of offenses and nautical issues that happen on all navigable waters. As a body of law, it covers all private maritime, domestic, and international disputes. There are special rules and legal procedures and principles that govern maritime cases.

Maritime law is a separate code that is independent of the laws of the land, national laws, or laws of the seas. The United States, being a member of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) subscribes to the maritime principles proposed by the organization in the convention.

It is also important to note that the maritime laws that were created long before by the seafaring nations have continued to evolve to cater to the changing nautical needs and commerce. There are several organs that create maritime laws among them international conventions such as the Civil Liability Convention, legislation, and also by marine arbitration panel decisions.
