The Teaching Unit introduces students to the knowledge of the basic international rules concerning shipping and maritime transports as well as marine insurance. International maritime law is essential for students who intend to work in shipping companies or administrations active in the maritime and port sector in the future or to exercise maritime professions related to it.
The aim of the teaching unit is to introduce students to the knowledge of the basic items concerning the vessels’ utilization, including their safety and security, and maritime carriages of goods, through an analysis of the relevant national, international and E.C. laws and rules.
The Teaching Unit complies with the STCW provisions on skills and competences required for deck officers, marine engineer and electrotechnical officers providing with all the necessary theoretical knowledges.
In particular, individual study, attendance and participation in the proposed learning activities will allow the student to:
Identify the sources applicable to shipping matters; Understand the main regulatory provisions that govern them; Understand the contest of the main standard contracts adopted in the practice of maritime transport trade; Understand regulatory texts of international origin, of the European Union relating to navigation matters; Express in appropriate legal technical language. Clearly illustrate and explain what you have learned.
there are no specific prerequisites

The exam is written and consists of a series of multiple choice questions related to most of the topics covered during the lessons. Only students who have attended at least 2/3 of the lessons will be given the opportunity to take the exam in pre-appeal.
Students with learning disorders ("Disturbi Specifici di Apprendimento", DSA) will be allowed to use specific modalities and supports that will be determined on a case-by-case basis in agreement with the delegate of the Engineering courses in the Committee for the Inclusion of Students with Disabilities.
The exam aims to verify the actual knowledge and acquisition by the student of the concepts learned during the module and so: - identify and define legal concepts using appropriate language; - identify and define the role and responsibilities of the various parties involved in the shipping operations, both on safety/security and commercial matters - identify and apply the main international and EU regulatory provisions governing the carrying out of transport and maritime safety/secutiry activities
Students with a disability or SLD certification may request the use of compensatory measures (e.g. additional time, concept maps and diagrams, modifications in the written/oral mode) during the examination, following the procedure indicated in the guidelines (p. 5) published qui
