This Law, comprising 387 Articles organized into nine Chapters, aims to enhance the growth of Oman’s maritime sector, together with prioritising the importance of navigational safety, seafarer protection and environmental preservation.

Notable features of the Law encompass updated regulations for maritime personnel, including maritime labour contracts, vessel registration under the Omani flag, maritime accidents and penalties, maritime liens and enforcement, while also including provisions for ship agents, cargo agents, freight forwarders and brokers. The Law applies to all types of maritime navigation, ships and marine units, with the following exceptions (i) ships and naval units designated for military purposes; (ii) State-owned ships designated for public service for non-commercial purposes. Employees authorized to have judicial officers have the right to board and inspect ships and marine units and enter ports whose activities fall within the scope of applying the provisions of this Law.
