Maritime Law in Georgia — the General Part of the Code
Maritime law in Georgia rests on a single foundation — the Maritime Code of Georgia, whose general part answers four threshold questions: what the Code regulates, that is, what counts as "maritime navigation" (Article 1); where it applies — seas, rivers, lakes and other navigable ways (Article 2); whom it does not reach — ships flying a naval flag, and on which exceptions (Article 3); and what is considered a "ship" for the purposes of the Code — a broad catalogue of floating objects with the 7-metre threshold for small ships (Article 12). This page explains precisely these four norms, because they determine whether your situation falls within the Maritime Code's regulatory scope at all.
