Extract

This paper, based on a presidential address given to the British Section, Société des Ingénieurs Civils de France on 11 January 1974, examines the state of sea transport today and proposes a European Maritime Agreement along the lines of the Chicago convention for Civil Air Transport.

The following definitions may be agreed.

Channels all natural or artificial beds of rivers, estuaries or other bodies of water, or a body of water joining two seas, for example the Channel joining the North Sea with the Atlantic Ocean. The word also means ways of access or communications and methods of conveying nonmaterial things, such as in radio and radar systems.

Proper means fit, suitable, efficient and safe; a secondary meaning is correct according to rule and accepted custom.
