It comprises liability and compensation for pollution incidents, salvage and wreck removal and the carriage of passengers and their luggage. In addition, the Legal Committee developed conventions relating to protection against pollution incidents, empowering coastal States to intervene on the high seas and determining uniform international rules regarding salvage operations. These conventions are closely linked to the liability and compensation regime and have therefore also been included in this publication.
This publication has been developed to assist Member States with the effective and uniform implementation of IMOs liability and compensation regime. It provides a practical and comprehensive reference book for administrations, non-governmental organizations and private companies alike.
