The Seafarers' Rights International (SRI) Centre, independent forum whose scope is to promote the interests of the marine ones that it is inaugurated on September 23, 2010 near the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in occasion of the World Maritime Day, has published an own search on the norms in marine matter and matter of marine job centralized specifically on the cabotage. In the document members of the United Nations are listed to the nations for the first time - 91 in all - that they have laws on the cabotage that place limits to the foreign activities in this field of intra-national the marine transport. Draft - specific the study - of 65% of the totality of the States that have marine activities that can be defined of cabotage.
The relationship is commissioned by the International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF), the international union of the workers of the transports based in London near which the center of Seafarers' Rights International is placed also. The document, entitled "Cabotage Laws of the World", it describes the history of the marine cabotage, it lists the first legal principles in this field and illustrates the many different definitions of national and regional cabotage that they exist currently to international level, let alone examples of the restrictions and the limits you set up to the foreign activities in this field but also of the exceptions to such impositions.
"For many people - it has evidenced the executive director of SRI, Deirdre Fitzpatrick - the marine cabotage, called also coastal, or long transport the coast or still cabotage traffic, as sometimes it is indicated, generally is intended is vaguely. This is not amazing since so little it is published on the argument. It has been be a matter of a complex project, with barriers cultural linguistics and difficulty in the interpretation of the norms. But the subject is important: it has an impact on an immense range of commerce, services and activity all over the world and with meaningful social and economic consequences. The decisive politicians, above all - he has emphasized Fitzpatrick - need more knowing some on the argument".
