Summary/Abstract: Maritime law originally belongs to the continental legal system but is, in its essence, a mixed legal system, because it also contains a number of elements of Anglo-Saxon law. Despite some original solutions pertaining only to maritime law and irrespective of the great influence of international conventions, including the international law of the sea, it cannot be claimed that this is universal law, i.e. a special (third) legal system in the world. However, its great uniformity undoubtedly contributes to the rule of law in maritime enterprises.
