What Law Applies In International Waters?

When the ships were loaded with containers they slowly sunk deeper into water. That's the kind of attention to details that I appreciate at this channel

SIDE NOTE: For cruise line ships, if a crime is committed aboard a ship while underway, the authority that deals with the crime is whatever port you're docked in or headed to at the time.

I used to live in Alaska. Stripping is illegal in Alaska, and one guy really hated that. He registered a boat in Washington and would pick up people from various cities and take them 1 mile off-shore, outside of state jurisdiction. And then it'd be a floating strip club.

3:21 he actually used the flags corresponding to Y and Z in the international flag alphabet, that's some serious detailing here

Waiting for your vid on Suez Canal

You referred to them as 'flags of convenience'. I've heard them called 'flags of non-compliance' because the real objective is to avoid taxes, labor laws, environmental legislation, etc.

remember when american cruise ships switched to flag of convenience to avoid labor laws and paying taxes... and then wanted american government bail outs when covid hit

wow... this 6 minute video taught me everything I learned in a semester long college Maritime Law course

I never set out to learn about shipping, but after just 1 of your videos (how an anchor actually works) I watched most of your back catalogue and now eagerly await your new uploads. From the way you easily explain sometimes difficult concepts to the awesome animations and attention to detail, everything about your content draws me in and not just entertains but teaches. Now to find a situation where any of it is useful to me..... maybe I'll buy a boat. Thank you for your content and keep up the amazing work.

Here in Cologne , Germany, most of the tourist boats are registered in Malta. For the sole reason that the Maltese flag looks more like flag of Cologne compared to Germany's. Has NOTHING AT ALL to do with economics or such, or taxes, no no no no!

Sooo gd to to see you back Cash Nav !!! Excellent vid as always, hope you are doing well my friend;

Great video. Its always a pleasure when you upload a new video. I love how informative and entertaining they are.

That reminds me of home, the ferrys between southern sweden and denmark has a liquor store and a cigarette store and when they cross the midpoint one closes and the other opens to comply with the local laws (sweden is very strict with alcholol and only the government is allowed to sell(restaurants with permits can sell)) while denmark either has stricter laws on cigarettes or just really high prices (I don't smoke so i don't know specifically about that, i just thought it was funny how the shops keep cycling to loop around the local laws since the trip across doesn't take that long so they're not open that long at a time).

Interesting, old limit 3 miles cannon range, 12 miles plus 12 gets you to range of a typical 16" naval gun, so, despite all other factors we are back to the range of artillery? Could just be coincidence. Thanks for making this video as it is an important topic most people know little about.

We need videos like this to bring attention to the subjects not talked about in federal education systems. Good on you

Excellent explanation about Law of the Sea and flags of convenience! As a maritime lawyer I can tell you that this video is amazing for beginners 👏👏👏
