Abstract
This chapter provides a brief overview of the relevant rules of the Turkish Legal System regulating the liability regime in maritime law. Although Turkey is ostensibly a party to the International Convention on Limitation of Liability for Maritime Claims, 1976, it would exceed the purpose and scope of this study to attempt detailed analyses on the individual Articles of the Convention. The chapter also provides comparative explanations on certain concepts that are likely to be a source of some misunderstanding, however slight that may be, vis-à-vis basic notions of Turkish Law. Turkey is a party to the International Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules of Law Relating to Bills of Lading, signed in Brussels on 25 August 1924. An objection was raised in academic circles, claiming that Turkey did not became a party to the Convention, despite the deposit of the formal instrument as envisaged in Article 16(3) of the Convention by the Turkish Government.
