Synopsis

The first edition of this book was quickly acclaimed as the new leading text worldwide on the law and practice of pollution from ships. The second edition deals with a variety of developments since then in this fast-moving subject: the Erika and the Prestige; changes in international law on maritime safety and compensation; latest decisions on claims for compensation; analysis of the SCOPIC regime; new material on ports of refuge, transboundary movements, and pollution from offshore craft; latest cases and regulatory changes in the US; and enlarged chapters on enforcement of laws and criminal sanctions. Like its predecessor, the second edition is superbly indexed and written clearly with the needs in mind of a wide international readership.

About this title

Synopsis

This addition to Lloyd's Shipping Law Library provides a comprehensive account of the law and practice relating to pollution from ships. The book includes a detailed discussion of different regimes governing compensation for pollution by oil and by other hazardous and noxious substances; admissibility and assessment of claims for different types of damage and expense caused by pollution; regulations for the prevention, reduction, and control of marine pollution; and the implications of marine pollution for various parties involved in maritime commerce. The combined expertise of two leading practitioners in the UK and the US brings to this work an international and practical character that should make it of interest to shipowners, shipmanagers and operators, charterers, oil companies, salvage companies, P&I clubs, insurance companies and ship financiers worldwide.
