Abstract  With a lot of international treaties and bilateral agreements and national legislation, marine transportation is still not secured. In order to achieve successful record, those international treaties require a proper bed at which all member states should delineate their borders and join those treaties; but this is not the case at present. Marine safeguarding measures are of those quick responses to coupe the threats and dangers that sometimes push a given party to comply with the relevant obligations. These measures can be discussed either through legal or a military view. Marine safeguarding measures include actions established according to the law and is implemented on responsible authorities, ships, passengers and commodities that lack a criminal nature and they are done just to coupe a threat or make compliance with the relevant obligations in the area of territorial sea.
