Oil tankers are not the only vessels that have caused oil
pollution at sea. Numerous spills in the past have been of heavy
fuel oil from non-tankers. However, the international liability and
compensation regime covered only oil pollution damage caused by oil
tankers. There was thus a need to bring the law on marine oil
pollution responsive to oil pollution damage caused by non-tankers.
In March 2001, the International Convention on Civil Liability for
Bunker Oil Pollution Damage was adopted following a diplomatic
conference at the International Maritime Organization. Though this
convention has not yet come into force, its various aspects should
already be considered as they will surely affect the maritime
industry as a whole and the non-tanker sector, in particular. This
book provides a timely and comprehensive study on the concept of
compulsory insurance, its main purpose of ensuring compensation and
its interrelations with other features such as the rule of strict
liability and the limitation of liability under the convention.
