국제해협에서의 강제도선제도에 대한 해양법협약상 고찰

Some Considerations on Legal Aspects in 1982 UNCLOS concerning the Compulsory Pilotage in International Strait as PSSA -concerning the designation of PSSA in Torres Strait-

International law provides for fundamental navigational rights called the right of transit passage in international straits as defined by UNCLOS. However, the Australian government published Marine Notice 8/2006 and the associated Part 54 of Australian Marine Orders which requires ships transiting the Torres Strait to engage the services of a pilot and imposes significant penalties for non-compliance on the basis of the IMO MEPC 133(53) which is just a resolution as a recommendation. This paper aims to study legal aspects in UNCLOS on the pilotage in the Torres Strait following the extension of the Great Barrier Reef PSSA neighbouring Australia.
