This Part of the law applies to every ship. You can think of a ship as a big boat that sails in the ocean. This law applies whether the ship is registered or not, and whether it is a New Zealand ship or not. This Part applies when the High Court has jurisdiction, which means the court has the power to make decisions, under section 4 of the Admiralty Act 1973, which you can find at https://legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1986/0120/latest/link.aspx?id=DLM411646. The law is in place for ships in certain situations, and it is important to follow it.
