About this statute

This article defines “ship” for the Convention. This article says the Convention does not apply to warships, certain state-owned or state-operated ships, or ships withdrawn from navigation or laid up. Article 3 lists ship-safety offences and says States may or must assert jurisdiction in specified cases. The Convention applies to certain ship voyages beyond a State’s territorial sea, and it can also apply when an offender or alleged offender is found in another State Party’s territory. Each State Party must criminalize the offences in article 3 and attach appropriate penalties.
