Port law refers to the rules that apply to infrastructures located on the shores of maritime or lake waterways that meet all the physical and organizational conditions that make it possible to accommodate boats and ships so that they can lodge there, dock there and carry out the operations of embarking and disembarking cargo or passengers.

To do this, the intervention of a lawyer is strongly recommended for the realization of these operations, and also in the event of problems, to intervene to resolve them.
