Abstract/Citation
Promulgated by Presidential Decree (26/1/1989). The pre 1991 SDR Government promulgated a new Maritime Law as a copy of the Presidential Decree (in the Official Bulletin), Law No. 5 of 26 January 1989. The Law was lost following the collapse of the SDR in 1990. The 1989 Law repeals the 1959 Somalia Maritime Code. Following the discovery of a copy of the 1989 Law in 2013, there is some uncertainty as to which of the Laws applies in Somalia.
