Matters of jurisdiction
As the courts may require proof from the port than the accused in a case is both the owner of the vessel and that the vessel is harboured inside the port limitations, the civil court will be able to suppose on a claim even if the vessel is not flying an UAE flag. The same does apply to adjudicating cases against foreign nationals who do not reside in the UAE, as stipulated by the Civil Procedure Code 1992.
The UAE is not party to any international shipping conventions, so the particular law of the land will apply in such a circumstance - while different dock authorities in the respected emirates have also recently been conferred with the strength of court and detention in such circumstances. The FML also provides legal redress in cases of shipping crashes.
