ACI’s National Forum on Admiralty & Maritime Claims and Litigation has been tailored to provide corporate counsel, claims counsel, and private practice defense attorneys with the expert knowledge and key strategies that they need to successfully defend against maritime litigation.
The document provides an analysis of contemporary maritime piracy, with a focus on piracy off the coast of Somalia in the Gulf of Aden. It begins with definitions of piracy and a brief history. Statistics show that piracy spiked in Somalia and the Gulf of Aden in the late 2000s. The document then examines the conditions in Somalia that have contributed to piracy, including its long coastline, climate, lack of effective governance, and poverty.
Admiralty law originated in Britain and governed maritime disputes. It was later introduced in India through acts like the Indian Admiralty Act of 1861. Admiralty law covers accidents and crimes at sea, maritime contracts, and violations of shipping laws. Over time, the jurisdiction of admiralty courts expanded. Today, the high courts of India have admiralty jurisdiction over maritime disputes involving foreign vessels and parties. One case discussed involved the arrest of a foreign ship in Visakhapatnam for breaching its cargo contract. The court ruled the high court properly assumed jurisdiction in this matter.
This document discusses the history and development of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). It traces the evolution of maritime law from ancient codes and customs to modern international agreements. Key events included Hugo Grotius establishing the principle of freedom of the seas in the early 17th century and UNCLOS being signed in 1982 after over a decade of negotiations. UNCLOS established rules governing territorial waters, exclusive economic zones, the continental shelf, high seas, and international seabed areas. It aimed to create a comprehensive legal framework for the governance of oceans.
The document discusses the key terms used in transportation contracts and the legal aspects of different means of transportation. It examines the legal commitments and responsibilities of sellers, buyers, and carriers of goods. The chapter also analyzes uniformity issues in international private maritime law and alternatives to help address the lack of uniformity, such as model rules, standard forms, and national statutes.

小學三年級的學生關注到學校午膳托管的同學浪費食物的情況,針對同學們浪費食物的原因,構想了一些可行的方法,製作活動展板,進行宣傳教育,讓同學們明白珍惜食物的重要,透過問答遊戲,引起同學們關注展板的內容,並製作書籤作為對同學們的鼓勵及獎勵,期間得到不少同學們的參與及響應支持,一起加入「珍惜食物」的行列,每日輪值守候在廚餘桶旁提醒同學們要珍惜食物。經過一星期的行動,行動成員向托膳的同學總結是次活動,分享成果與感想,並希望大家將「珍惜食物」的精神延續下去。
Grade 3 students were aware of food wastage for lunches served at school. In view of the causes of their food wastage, they formulated some practical ways: 1) mobile display boards to propagandize and educate students the importance of saving food; 2) quiz games to help students remember the contents of the display boards; 3) bookmarks to encourage students and to serve as prizes for them. As the above carried on, many students showed their support and participated this “food saving” campaign. They took turns day by day to stand by the food bins to remind others to save food. This went on for a week. Members who initiated the campaign made a conclusion sharing the results and afterthoughts. They hope that the notion of “saving food” would carry on among them all.
