Limitation of liability for maritime claims is a concept of
respectable antiquity which is now deeply entrenched in the
maritime industry. Under this concept, the shipowner is entitled to
limit his liability for maritime claims up to a maximum sum
regardless of the actual amount of the claims. The concept of
limitation of liability has been adopted by many conventions
ranging from those relating to the carriage of goods by sea,
carriage of passengers and their luggage by sea, liability and
compensation for pollution damage, to liability for the removal of
wrecks. Each of these conventions has its own approach to
limitation of liability. However, these particular liability
regimes share the international arena with global limitation
conventions such as the 1976 Convention on Limitation of Liability
for Maritime Claims and the 1996 Protocol thereto. This book
approaches limitation of liability from an international
perspective looking at a number of key conventions including the
global limitation conventions, the conventions relating to the
carriage of passengers and their luggage by sea (1974 Athens
Convention relating to the Carriage of Passengers and Their Luggage
by Sea and the 2002 Protocol thereto), conventions relating to
liability and compensation for pollution damage (1969 International
Convention on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage and the 1992
Protocol thereto, the 1996 International Convention on Liability
and Compensation for Damage in Connection with the Carriage of
Hazardous and Noxious Substances by Sea and the 2010 Protocol
thereto, and the 2001 International Convention on Civil Liability
for Bunker Oil Pollution Damage), as well as the 2007 Nairobi
International Convention on the Removal of Wrecks. Each chapter of
this book sets out to analyze provisions in the conventions which
have proved to be controversial and subject to debate by courts and
authors, as well as the relationship between the limitation
provisions in claim specific liability conventions and in the
global limitation conventions. Particular attention is also given
to the persons entitled to limit liability, ships in respect of
which liability can be limited, claims subject to limitation,
claims excepted from limitation, basis of liability (where
applicable), loss of the right to limit, and the limits of
liability. Limitation of Liability in International Maritime
Conventions is of interest to academics and practicing lawyers who
wish to understand the intricacies of the law of limitation.
