coastal-state control

Read a random definition: statutable

A quick definition of coastal-state control:

Coastal-state control refers to the authority of a country to stop, inspect, and detain foreign ships that are sailing in its territorial waters. This is done to ensure the safety of the vessels and to enforce environmental regulations. It is part of international conventions that allow countries to exercise control over ships that are not flying their flag. This is different from flag-state control, which is when a ship is subject to the laws of the country whose flag it is flying, and port-state control, which is when a ship is inspected when it enters a foreign port.

A more thorough explanation:

Coastal-state control is a term used in maritime law to describe the authority of a state to stop, board, inspect, and detain foreign vessels that are navigating in its territorial waters. The purpose of this control is to ensure the safety of the vessels and to enforce environmental regulations.

For example, if a foreign ship is suspected of carrying illegal cargo or violating environmental laws, the coastal state can exercise its authority to board and inspect the vessel. If necessary, the vessel can be detained until the issue is resolved.

Another example is when a foreign vessel is in distress or in need of assistance. The coastal state can provide aid and take control of the situation to ensure the safety of the vessel and its crew.

Overall, coastal-state control is an important aspect of maritime law that helps to maintain safety and protect the environment in territorial waters.
