Portius is the world’s first institution to specialise in the study of
international and EU law on maritime and inland ports. Port law is essential
to the functioning of ports, traditional gateways to global trade. In a
fascinating way, port law combines port-related aspects of maritime and
transport law, international law of the sea, public law, economic law, labour
law, environmental law and various other branches of the law.
In this inaugural lecture, Portius chairman
ERIC VAN HOOYDONK illustrates the rich

and argues that it is integral to maritime law.
He also highlights its numerous deviations from
the general law and the preference of ports not
to be subject to legal regulation.
