Public maritime law dealing with safety issues is mostly recognised as a contemporary branch of maritime law. In contrast to public maritime law, the history of private maritime law referred to as shipping law is very well described in related literature. But also maritime safety arrangements can be found in the ancient as well medieval collections of laws. Article aims to analyse the ancient roots of contemporary legal institutions referring to maritime safety law.
