Control of the straits increases the importance of Istanbul on both historical and current maritime trade. Companies based in Istanbul are the main actors in Turkey&#8217;s maritime trade, and therefore Istanbul is one of the cities where maritime law is intensively seen in practice.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Legislation_in_Maritime_Law\"><\/span>Legislation in Maritime Law<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The main legal text regulating maritime law in Turkey is the relevant articles of the &#8220;Turkish Commercial Code&#8221;. This law regulates important issues regarding maritime trade such as ship registry procedures, maritime mortgages, maritime accidents, marine insurance and maritime transportation. In addition, since Turkey is a party to international agreements and conventions, these documents shape the maritime law in Turkey.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Merchant_Marine_Lawyer\"><\/span>Merchant Marine Lawyer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Maritime lawyers are lawyers who specialize in legal transactions, disputes and consultancy services related to maritime trade. These lawyers serve their clients on matters such as maritime accidents, insurance claims, contract disputes and ship purchase-sale transactions. Istanbul is an important center for maritime lawyers because the city is in a location where maritime trade is intense and therefore legal needs related to maritime trade arise frequently.<\/p>\n<p>Istanbul&#8217;s strategic location in maritime trade has made the city an important center for legal transactions and consultancy in this field.
