Resumen

Objective: To take action to prevent pollution of the sea by oil discharged from ships.

Summary of provisions: This Convention applies to all ships, except tankers of under 150 tons gross tonnage and other ships of under 500 tons gross tonnage, registered in the territory of, or having the nationality of, a Party. Naval ships and ships engaged in whaling are also excepted (art. 2). Discharges are prohibited, except when a ship is proceeding en route or when the instantaneous rate of discharge does not exceed 60 litres per mile. The prohibition is not applicable when the following conditions are satisfied: * in the case of a ship - the oil content of the discharge is less than 100 parts per million parts of the mixture, or the discharge is made as far as practicable from land; * in the case of a tanker - the total quantity of oil discharged on a ballast voyage does not exceed one fifteen-thousandth of the total cargo-carrying capacity, or the tanker is more than 50 miles from the nearest land (art. 3); Exceptions to article 3 are provided in cases of necessity to secure safety of ships, save life or prevent damage to cargo, or where leakage is unavoidable and alt measures have been taken to minimise it (art. 4). Ships are to be fitted within 12 months to prevent escape of oil into the bilges (art. 7). Parties undertake to provide appropriate facilities at ports and oil-loading terminals (art. 8). All ships covered by the Convention are to carry an oil record book in a form specified in the annex, to be completed whenever certain operations take place (art. 9). Parties agree to send texts of laws, decrees, orders and regulations giving effect to the Convention to the United Nations.

This abstract takes into account the amendments adopted in 1962 and 1969.
