Abstract

Social relations regarding economic transport activity in maritime ports require a clear, concise and coherent body of legislation to support the transport community and the representatives of related industries, so that they can pursue their proposed business objectives, a fair, competitive and safe public order environment. We believe that piloting and sea towing must be circumscribed by this desideratum, a poor legal regulation making it difficult for ships to enter and exit from and to the Port of Constanta and, moreover, be able to cause a real economic or environmental disaster. In this respect, we have proposed in the present paper to analyze from the perspective of legal regulations, as a case study, the most important piloting accident that occurred in the Romanian ports on November 1st 2015 between two commercial ships flag Malta and Turkey, showing the consequences, as well as the potential dangers that could have occurred.
