The damage due to a single incident of an Oil Rig Collision can be catastrophic due to the number of people on board and the added risk of explosion. However, the existing rules and regulations of collisions prevention are insufficient. The purpose of this article is to critically evaluate the risk of ships collisions with offshore platforms and installations and therefore propose an international regulation for the preventions of this type of collisions.展开更多

China's economic strategy, in particular Chinese maritime policy, shows a high tendency of urging to develop China's strategic shipping, which aims to safeguard China's national interest. This paper explores the approach of balancing China's maritime interests safeguarding and the compliance of international maritime regulations by examining three dimension of strategic shipping capacity which includes shipping, port and lane. In addition, this paper creatively proposes the idea of merchant ships and ports for military application and gives some advice about the implementation measures and legal system of mechanism safeguarding.展开更多
