2025年上半年,航运和国际贸易一直是全球关注的焦点,尤其是在美国宣布对包括东南亚地区在内的众多国家征收关税、大幅提高对中国拥有或运营船舶的收费以及多国政府拟采取对等行动等诸多因素引发的不确定性之下。在这种动荡的背景下,各国政府一直在努力加强各自的海事法律框架,修订各自的航运法并出台新的法规。此外,还出现了一些值得关注的案例,就航运法的关键问题作出了裁判。
在本动态中,我们重点介绍了本区域的一些关键进展。
在立法和政策方面,监管机构一直在努力完善各自的航运法律框架。在印度尼西亚,政府已发布新的《航运业组织条例》草案,其中对外国合资企业提出了更严格的要求,明确了许可框架,并扩大了船舶登记程序。在新加坡,首个包含国际海上运输服务章节的自由贸易协定——《太平洋联盟-新加坡自由贸易协定》已生效,《2024年运输业(关键企业)法》也已生效,对包括港口当局在内的指定实体实施了更严格的管控。越南进行了全面的行政重组,改变了其法院签发船舶和飞机扣押令的管辖权,并合并了某些省份与邻近沿海省份。马来西亚出台了一项新法规,旨在加强对非法船对船石油转运的执法力度,而泰国则出台了一系列针对港口拥堵的措施。
各司法管辖区的许可要求也进行了多项修订。其中包括泰国对固定航线机动船舶实行更严格的许可要求,对渔船实行更精简的许可要求,以及新加坡最终确定甲醇燃料加注标准。船舶安全和海员福利领域也取得了一些进展,菲律宾发布了关于海员强制保险的通函,泰国修订了《海事劳工法》,以符合全球海员权利和保护标准,并发布了关于货船安全设备的通知。
最后,法院审理了一些需要裁判的海事案件。在新加坡,法院不得不处理涉及多重诉讼的案件,这是航运纠纷中常见的问题,包括跨越新加坡法院、印度尼西亚法院和仲裁庭的诉讼。在马来西亚,法院审查了船舶所有权变更将如何影响介入船舶扣押程序的权利。泰国法院审议了承运人在货物抵达目的港时通知收货人的义务,以及未能通知收货人的责任。
如上所述,本区域的航运业正处于快速发展阶段。业内人士应及时了解最新的法律法规和政策变化,并了解这些变化可能如何影响其自身运营。立杰律师事务所希望及时向您通报这些最新动态。如果您想讨论这些问题,请随时联系我们。
