Abstract

Spanish maritime law has been the subject of a new regulation by Act 14/2014, dated 24 July, on Maritime Navigation (Official State Gazette, N. 180, 25.07.2014). This Act has not been limited to a mere updating and codification of maritime provisions, but also responds to its indispensable coordination with international maritime law and its adequacy to the current practice of maritime transport, as pointed out in its preamble (paragraph I). It is precisely the need to coordinate the national regulation of maritime institutions with the provisions of existing international Conventions on this subject that has been one of the objectives of the writers of the aforementioned Spanish law. This chapter aims to examine the legislative technique used by the Spanish legislator to carry out this coordination between domestic law and international maritime Conventions.
