Maritime and Aviation Law

About

The module offers an introduction to maritime law and aviation law, examining how maritime and air transport have been regulated internationally. It examines how the law responds to the challenges these critical sectors of the global economy are faced with, such as climate change, the use of new technologies and artificial intelligence (e.g. autonomous vessels and drones), external shocks (e.g. sanctions and trade wars) and an unlevel playing field. The module concludes with a comparative analysis of the international regulation of shipping and aviation
