Research Abstract	This study was conducted by comparing the maritime collision laws of major maritime countries to consider the interpretation of the article 798th of Japanese commercial law and the burden of proof in the maritime collision cases. As the result, I concluded that we should establish our own consideration of maritime collision law which is different from the consideration of tort law in Japan on the basis of the practice of the business transactions in which quick adjustment is demanded.
