Law for preventing collisions at sea

Japanese: 海上衝突予防法 - かいじょうしょうとつよぼうほう
Law for preventing collisions at sea

A basic law aimed at preventing ship collisions and ensuring the safety of maritime traffic. At the International Maritime Congress in 1889, the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea were ratified so that each country could enact domestic laws to enable ships of different nationalities to navigate safely under common rules. Based on this, Japan also promulgated the Act on Preventing Collisions at Sea in 1892 (Law No. 5 of 1892). Since then, it has been amended several times to meet the needs of the times. The current law was promulgated in 1977 (Showa 52) in accordance with the international regulations of 1972, stipulating the necessary matters regarding navigational laws that ships must observe, lights and shapes that they must display, and signals, etc. It was partially amended on June 1, 1983, based on an international treaty.

Japanese:

船舶の衝突を防止し海上交通の安全を図ることを目的とした基本法。1889年の国際海事会議で、異国籍間の船舶が共通のルールにより安全に航行できるよう、各国が国内法を制定するため国際海上衝突予防規則が議定された。これに基づいて日本でも1892年海上衝突予防法(明治25年法律5号)が公布された。その後、時代の要請に応じて改正を重ねている。現行法は1972年の国際規則に準拠して、船舶が遵守すべき航法、表示すべき燈火および形象物ならびに信号等に関する必要事項を定め77年(昭和52)に公布された。国際条約により83年6月1日に一部改正が行われた。
