Abstract
The establishment of the maritime adjudication system of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) started in 1984 and a comprehensive maritime adjudicatory mechanism has been established. The 30 years’ experience of maritime adjudication provides an important basis for maritime legislation in China, including the Maritime Code of the PRC (the Maritime Code) 1992 and the Special Maritime Procedure Law of the PRC 1999. Afterwards the Supreme People’s Court (SPC) played a special role in quasi-legislation through publishing a series of judicial interpretations for implementation of the MC 1992 and SMPL 1999 in maritime judicial practice. The past 30 years (1984-2013) is a period of great achievements in Chinese maritime adjudication. However, Chinese still has a long way to reach a real international centre for maritime adjudication for the next 30 years.
