The object of the foundation “Sjørettsfondet” ( “the Maritime Law Foundation”) is, pursuant to the byelaws, ”to advance research in Norway in maritime law, transport law and associated legal disciplines.” This can be done by grants, by publishing or supporting the publishing of scientific works or by other means that could advance the object.

Scientific publishing – MarIus and SIMPLY

Sjørettsfondet publishes the periodical MarIus. The periodical is issued at irregular intervals, and covers maritime law and associated fields of law, including transport law, petroleum law, energy and natural resources law as well as general commercial law. The languages are Norwegian, other Scandinavian languages as well as English. MarIus functions as a publication channel for theses written by research assistants at the Scandinavian Institute of Maritime Law, but is also intended as a publication channel for ordinary papers. MarIus is in this relation open for publication of works by authors from all over the world.

SIMPLY (Scandinavian Institute Maritime & Petroleum Law Yearbook) is the annual of the Scandinavian Institute of Maritime Law, and is issued as a special edition of MarIus. The language of the annual is English. SIMPLY primarily aims at publishing article s written by persons linked to the Institute, but also publishes articles based on presentations at maritime law seminars, etc.
