Abstract

Objectives: To add a new Article Vbis and a new Annex C to the 1954 International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution of the Sea by Oil. Summary of provisions: A new Article Vbis is inserted to provide that every tanker to which the Convention applies is to be constructed in accordance with the provisions of Annex C, and is to carry on board a certificate issued by the responsible Party attesting such compliance. Parties may deny tankers which do not comply with Annex C access to ports in their territorial waters or off-shore terminals under their control. Annex C is added to set the technical requirements relating to tank arrangements and to the limitation of tank size.
