India with a favourable geography and long maritime history has major maritime potential. However its performance has remained below par given its share in annual world cargo tonnage and other considerations. Given that its the Merchant Shipping Act, 1958 is the major comprehensive law regulating its seafaring activities the same invites scrutiny. The legislative bodies attempted to replace the Act in 2016 but failed to do so and at present deliberations are on and a draft Bill has been circulated for public comments. Interestingly, on the other hand several independent Acts touching upon the subject matters related to the 1958 Act have been successfully enacted. In light of these developments the 1958 Act requires a revisit.
