Abstract

The article examines the economic and legal issues of inland navigation development based on the materials of Germany and Ukraine. The relevance of the paper of economic and legal aspects of the development of inland navigation and the legal status of a shipowner is due to their importance for science and practice and insufficient development in Ukraine, as well as a significant expansion of inland navigation against the background of curtailment of sea traffic due to Russian military restrictions on the Black Sea. The purpose of the study is to identify and analyse the economic and legal factors that contribute to the improvement of inland navigation. The authors use the methods of analysis and comparison of theoretical concepts and legal norms, and the method of socio-economic statistics is also used to argue proposals on the topic under study. The paper shows the connection between the concepts of inland navigation law and inland waterways law. This work uses German-language works by W. Korioth, J.-H. Krumme, T. Waldstein, H. Holland. The subject and direction of research of Ukrainian scientists P. Kazanski, A. V. Kulko, A. P. Efimenko, E. A. Samoilenko and G. V. Samoilenko are determined. The results of the study allowed to expand the understanding of the subject matter of inland navigation law as a set of predominantly private law provisions regulating relations in the field of navigation use of inland waterways. The research analyses the theoretical and regulatory foundations of the concept of inland waterway and indicators of the level of socio-economic development of Ukraine and Germany, which influence the state and development of concepts and norms of inland navigation law. Economic justification is provided for the limits of possible increase in cargo transportation, which may have a stimulating effect on the development of inland navigation law. It is proposed to adopt the best German experience and a temporary solution to the problem of the lack of regulations in the field of inland waterway transport of Ukraine.
