Maritime rescue regulations in the light of the provisions of the Algerian maritime law

Abstract

When ships are at sea, they may be exposed to various risks, as the seas are often fraught with such dangers. Therefore, it seems necessary to provide assistance and rescue to these ships so that they can overcome their crisis.

The legislator has included the rescue at sea in the category of maritime incidents that prevent the continuation of a voyage, and these incidents can have serious consequences. However, not every mariner can be considered a rescuer, as the law requires certain conditions to be met in order to carry out a rescue at sea.
