Liability for offences against the criminal law of the flag State, a coastal State or a port State, for which the penalty is usually either a fine, or imprisonment, or both. Hundreds of offences have been created under UK law for which a master may be fined, or in many cases, both fined and jailed. (See UK COURT PROCEDURES, OFFENCES AND PENALTIES in Section B.)
