A quick definition of shipping law:

Shipping law is a type of law that deals with everything related to ships. This includes building, owning, inspecting, and transporting ships, as well as the laws that apply to the people who work on them, such as the captain and crew. It also covers the rules for carrying cargo on ships. This type of law is also known as maritime law or the law of shipping.

A more thorough explanation:

Shipping law, also known as the law of shipping, is a part of maritime law that deals with various aspects of ships and their operations. This includes building, equipping, registering, owning, inspecting, transporting, and employing ships, as well as the laws that apply to shipmasters, agents, crews, and cargoes.

For example, the Jones Act is a law that falls under shipping law. It requires that all goods transported between two U.S. ports must be carried on ships that are built, owned, and operated by U.S. citizens or permanent residents.

Another example is the law that requires ships to be inspected regularly to ensure they are safe to operate. This helps to prevent accidents and protect the crew, passengers, and cargo.

Overall, shipping law is important for regulating the maritime industry and ensuring that ships operate safely and efficiently.
