Brussels Collision Convention

The Brussels Collision Convention (formally, the Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules of Law with respect to Collisions between Vessels (French: Convention internationale pour l'unification de certaines règles en matière d'abordage)) is a 1910 multilateral treaty that established the rules of legal liability that result from collisions between ships at sea. == Content == Three general rules of legal liability are established by the Convention: If a collision occurs that is accidental or of uncertain cause, the damages are borne by the party that suffers them; If a collision occurs that is the fault of a party, the party at fault is liable for the damages that were caused; and If a collision occurs that is the fault of more than one party, the parties at fault are liable in proportion to the faults respectively committed.
