La regulación de infracciones, accidentes y siniestros marítimos según la ley Orgánica de Navegación, Gestión de la Seguridad Marítima y Fluvial en los Espacios Acuáticos del Ecuador.

Abstract

The importance of the maritime space and its sovereignty is directly linked to the concept of maritime security, which is based on the effective control of everything associated with the maritime domain, avoiding affecting national maritime heritage and interests. The objective of this test was to establish the maritime governance that must exist between the agencies and actors that are responsible for the safety of navigation in Ecuador, to regulate and regulate the procedures for maritime infringements, accidents and casualties, for the Ecuadorian Navy to efficiently exercise its role as Maritime Authority. This change is necessary in the maritime activity of Ecuador, since it is currently regulated by the Organic Law of Navigation, Management of Maritime and Fluvial Safety in Aquatic Spaces which stipulates the competences of the Navy in the legal framework, and it grants the administrative jurisdiction in first instance to the harbour offices. In this way, it has been possible to infer guidelines for the Ecuadorian Navy to promote regulations in the prosecution of violations in jurisdictional maritime spaces, and thus avoid the use of alternative legal norms, which are not anchored to the maritime sphere
