Summary/Abstract: Private international maritime law (PIML) is closely related to the private international law of the Republic of Bulgaria as a whole and represents a set of legal norms governing private legal relations with an international element, in the regulation of which more than one state is interested. The subjects of these legal relations are private individuals – natural or legal persons, and not states, state-like entities, international organizations. In this respect, they differ from the subjects of public international maritime law (PIML). Examples of such subjects are shipowners, shippers, consignors, document consignors, charterers, sea carriers, sellers and buyers under “maritime sales” (distance sales, in connection with which contracts for international carriage of goods by sea “FOB”, “CIF”, etc. are concluded), forwarders, agents, maritime brokers – at freight exchanges (brokers), stevedores, etc.
