古巴议会批准新的海上航行法

　　Cuban Transport Minister Cesar Arocha said at a parliament session that Cuba lacked of an "updated" marine legislation and was still using obsolete² juridical instruments.

　　Arocha said the new bill is the result of 15 years of studies in pusuit of regulating the sailing in the territorial³ sea, the adjacent areas, the exclusive economic zone in the Gulf⁴ of Mexico, the interior waters, rivers, lagoons⁵ and reservoirs.

　　The new legislation also specifies⁶ issues on marine auxiliary⁷ and related services, along with topics concerning to ships, crafts and naval⁸ devices dedicated⁹ to trade, scientific, tourist, sports and recreational purposes.

　　There are as well articles referred to the abandonment of ships and foreign crafts in Cuban waters, and others related to the prevention and control of the contamination of the marine environment, the official said.

　　Jose Luis Toledo, president of the Parliament Commission for Constitutional and Juridical Affairs, noted¹⁰ that a new legal frame is needed to support the intervention¹¹ of the authorities and to enhance the safety for sailing and environment as there has been a significant increase of abandoned ships in Cuban port facilities and jurisdictional¹² waters.
