General Maritime Law
Maritime Law is a combination of both domestic law
that governs offshore activities, as well as a private international law that
governs the actions of private entities that operate ships and other vessels in
international waters. Maritime Law is developed through multilateral treaties
between countries to ensure that the wishes of each country are respected
throughout the conduction of business.
The Jones Act
Also known at the Merchant Marine Act of 1920, the
Jones Act is a United States
federal regulation that aims to oversee maritime operations in U.S. waters and
ports. The Act has been revised and amended a number of times, which is where
the expertise of Michael W LeRoy and his firm come in very handy. The Jones Act
deals mainly with cabotage, or the transport of goods from one area to another
within the domestic borders of a country. The provisions of the Jones Act
relates to cabotage by stating all entities involved must be operating
U.S.-built and flagged vessels.
