 abstract={This article deals with the new Polish legislation of 9 November 2000 concerning Maritime Safety. This legislation harmonizes in detail the basic issues in what can be broadly understood as Maritime Safety. The author of this study has frequently drawn attention to the inadequacies of regulations up to now in the area of maritime safety. He has emphasized the need for legislation on maritime safety. This legislation regulates the issue ofmaritime safety in the following: ship building, and fixed machinery and equipment on board ships (articles 6-16); the qualifications and composition of the crew (articles 17-25); safety in navigation (articles 26-39); and saving life at sea (article 40-50). The legislation is of a framework kind, and the emergence of rational legal system of safety at sea depends on the addition of many executive legal instruments to the legislation. A characteristic feature of the legislation is that the requirements relating to maritime safety are based on international standards. Thus numerous regulations within the legislation refer to well-known international conventions in the area ofmaritime safety, for example, to the SOLAS, LL, CSC, COLREG, SAR, and other conventions. The legislation also contains a range of regulations relating to supervision of safety at sea, and to sanctions for non-observance of requirements relating to maritime safety. The author discusses the new legislation in its entirety, emphasizing its strong and weak points.},
