Résumé

The International Convention on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage shall form part of the Marshall islands subject to the provisions of this Chapter. An action for compensation under this Chapter may be brought in the Republic if pollution damage resulting from an incident covered under the Convention on Civil Liability has been sustained within the Republic, including its territorial sea, or if measures have been taken to prevent or minimize such damage in that area. Any such action shall be brought before the High Court. The Limitation Fund referred to in Article V (3) of the Convention on Civil Liability shall be constituted with the High Court. Certificates attesting that insurance or other financial security is in force as required under Article VII (2) of the Convention on Civil Liability, shall be issued by the Maritime Administrator. Penalties for lack of certificate are prescribed.
