Resumen

With the present Decree the Protocol of 1992, to amend the international Convention on civil liability for oil pollution damage of 1969, is ratified. The 1992 Protocol establishes higher limits of liability and widens the scope of the Convention to cover pollution damage caused in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) or equivalent area of a State Party. The Protocol covers pollution damage as before but environmental damage compensation is limited to costs incurred for reasonable measures to reinstate the contaminated environment. It also allows expenses incurred for preventive measures to be recovered even when no spill of oil occurs, provided there was grave and imminent threat of pollution damage. The compensation limits were set as follows: for a ship not exceeding 5,000 gross tonnage, liability is limited to 3 million units of account; for a ship 5,000 to 140,000 gross tonnage, liability is limited to 3 million units of account plus 420 units of account for each additional unit of tonnage. For a ship over 140,000 gross tonnage, liability is limited to 59.7 million unit of tonnage.
