Description
Up to the early 1970s, marine pollution from ships was unregulated. This left pollution damage recovery for contaminated property to be based on tort law — a blunt tool for seeking compensation. Today however, there is extensive legislative framework that attempts to prevent or mitigate pollution at sea and reduce the degradation of marine environment. This development is apt, given that 90% of the modern global trade is conducted by shipping. This talk will provide an overview of merchant shipping and environmental laws governing pollution damage.
