Regionalism or unilateralism in maritime law is based on differentiated interpretations of the international norms which may lead to reshaping the norms in question by widening or narrowing their scope, or by providing for additional or differentiated requirements. Schematically, international norms refer to the rights and obligations of the flag State, coastal State and port State. The interest of briefly examining maritime safety from the aspect of the flag State, coastal State and port State, is to reveal the limitations of States’ actions in keeping with international law.
