Waterborne transport plays a vital role within the European Union, accounting for nearly 90% of its external freight trade and 40% of intra-EU exchanges of goods and passengers. With 23 EU Member States being coastal states and 26 being Flag States, EU ship owners manage a significant portion of the world's vessels and shipping tonnage. Each year, over 400 million passengers pass through more than 1,000 European ports. The Framework of the 'Erika Packages' has introduced an additional regulatory level to the existing global legal regime of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and national laws. In response to severe marine casualties in EU waters, the EU has taken steps to regulate almost all aspects of maritime transport and shipping. The Brussels Commentary on EU Maritime Law provides a comprehensive article-by-article analysis of the most relevant EU Regulations and EU Directives of the shipping sector.
