Abstract

The Romanian maritime law consists of a set of legal rules contained in several acts. Among these are commercial code, ordinary laws, ordinances, government decisions, plus maritime usages. The Romanian maritime law also contains a number of provisions of international conventions ratified by Romania. Romanian maritime law is not a component of the transport law. Maritime law refers not only to transport by sea, but also to the status of property and persons involved in shipping. The study subject of maritime law is much diversified. Maritime law rules describe vessel ownership, maritime rights and transport-related activities. Another object of study refers to the status of seafarers, maritime security, rescue and assistance at sea, crew hiring and obligations, arrest, prosecution and forced sale of the commercial ships. Other topics of study relate to ship owners, shipmasters, charterers etc. Due to the dangers of the sea, maritime risk is found in almost all analyses and works on maritime law. The dangers of the sea transport justify the principle of the limitation of the liability. Because of this principle, the theoretical institutions of joint damage, maritime assistance and collision assistance have been established
