instruments. The discussion emphasizes the port state control regime as an indispensable tool for ensuring compliance by foreign ships with international requirements and standards.
The overall aim of the chapter is to afford the reader an understanding and
appreciation of the coastal State, flag State and port State regimes under UNCLOS
and other international maritime law instruments through an analytical examination
and references to case law and other material pertinent to the topic. All these three
regimes are well-entrenched in the substantive and regulatory components of the
public law in the maritime field and it is anticipated that readers will derive some
benefit from the text presented in this chapter.
