Compensation law for oil pollution damage from ships in China
Compensation law for oil pollution damage from ships in China
Compensation for vessel-source oil pollution is a key component in the protection of the marine environment as well as the alleviation of the plight of the victims thereof. International standards on compensation for vessel-source oil pollution have been established through a number of international conventions. The Chinese maritime courts have heard more than 300 cases concerning vessel pollution compensation in the past 10 years and the number and severity level of these cases (in China) appear to be on the rise
In order to deal with the consequences of oil pollution accidents, China has made great efforts to establish a compensation system for oil pollution damage from ships. Several laws and regulations have come into effect since 2010 that have brought significant changes to the previous legal regime of compensation for oil pollution damage. In this presentation, an introduction will be given of China’s implementation of the international standards for vessel-source oil pollution compensation. In addition, the new legal regime for oil pollution damage from ships will be examined to determine whether China is moving closer to the international standard in this area.

Abstract
Compensation for vessel-source oil pollution is a key component in the protection of the marine environment as well as the alleviation of the plight of the victims thereof. International standards on compensation for vessel-source oil pollution have been established through a number of international conventions. The Chinese maritime courts have heard more than 300 cases concerning vessel pollution compensation in the past 10 years and the number and severity level of these cases (in China) appear to be on the rise
In order to deal with the consequences of oil pollution accidents, China has made great efforts to establish a compensation system for oil pollution damage from ships. Several laws and regulations have come into effect since 2010 that have brought significant changes to the previous legal regime of compensation for oil pollution damage. In this presentation, an introduction will be given of China’s implementation of the international standards for vessel-source oil pollution compensation. In addition, the new legal regime for oil pollution damage from ships will be examined to determine whether China is moving closer to the international standard in this area.
