Cargo securing in maritime transport from the perspective of civil and military law

The essence of the presented article is to indicate the conditions for the implementation of transport tasks within the framework of increasingly undertaken civil-military activities. This applies primarily to humanitarian operations carried out with the support of the military, as well as military operations such as peacekeeping and stabilization missions, in which the civilian component is growing. Recognizing both common solutions and requirements, as well as differences in this regard, is one of the fundamental conditions determining the possibility, time, and efficiency of such activities. The variety of cargo transported during such operations requires knowledge of both civilian and military rules for securing these loads. Based on an analysis of typical stowage systems in commercial transport and the conditions and requirements for carrying out transport tasks within international military operations, the processes affecting transport safety are presented. Taking into account the priorities assigned to military operations, such as readiness in moving troops and supplies, solutions that are adapted to civilian activities are indicated. During the analysis of this problem, a comparison of legislation was also made as one of the elements having a key impact on the level of safety. Consequently, not only the differences but also a certain complementarity of the solutions used in military and civilian logistics were pointed out.CARGO PROTECTION OF SEA TRANSPORTATION IN CIVIL-MILITARY OPERATIONS
