Abstract

The relevance of the study is predetermined by the current situation in the locations of seaports, terminals and port facilities, in view of the need and expediency of ensuring and maintaining a state of protection against acts of unlawful interference. The article reveals the basic concepts, analyzes the factors and threats affecting the level of transport safety, and investigates the system and procedure for the implementation of legal norms regulating the legal relations inherent in the research area. The attention is focused on the problematic aspects of the transport safety implementation, regarding which the ways of improving the legislation of administrative and legal regulation of transport safety in the Russian Federation are proposed. There are gaps in the conceptual apparatus, which negatively affects law enforcement practice. Fixing the term fully reflecting the aspects of maritime transport security will eliminate the problem and the gap in interpretation, and will assist in concretizing the terminology as well. The imperfection of the content of Article 11.6 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation provides prerequisites for the commission of offenses of both minor severity and those that can be qualified as actions that create a threat of committing an act of unlawful interference on protected objects of transport infrastructure, objects of the fuel and energy complex, which can entail serious consequences.
