Download or read book Maritime Salvage Operations and Environmental Protection written by Durand Martin Cupido and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-01-20 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book questions the use of salvage law as legal regulatory framework for the remuneration of environmental services in salvage operations, proposing that such services should be based on direct contracting between commercial salvors and coastal States. Adopting an environment-first approach, it argues that direct contracting better serves and promotes environmental protection outcomes. It also takes a functional view of the law as a tool to promote values and sought outcomes. Salvage operations are recognised as the first line of defence against pollution following shipping incidents. Although regulated under the law of salvage, these operations form an integral component of a framework of environmental protection measures regulated under different legal instruments or laws. The law of salvage fails to effectively integrate salvage operations into broader pollution response mechanisms because it does not align comfortably with this framework of laws. Despite the emphasis on environmental protection in the 1989 London Salvage Convention, the Convention maintains the traditional notion of salvage operations as a service to property, while environmental outcomes and the remuneration of environmental services are positioned as a secondary outcome of the law of salvage. This book argues that directly contracting for environmental services bolsters the primacy of environmental protection and the functional use of law to further environmental protection and policy formulation. Direct contracting between coastal States and salvors for environmental services complements existing practices and pollution response mechanisms and provides a sound legal basis for the effective realisation of salvage operations as the first line of defence against pollution following shipping incidents without fundamentally altering the established commercial identity of the traditional law of salvage. This book will be key reading for students, academics, and practitioners working at the intersection of shipping and environmental law.

Among the issues addressed are conditions in the salvage industry; emergency response-time; national salvage policy; workforce needs; salvage techniques; and the contribution of the Navy to the national salvage capability.
Download or read book Salvage Companies and Protection of the Marine Environment written by Simon Allison and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the traditional law of salvage was effective in reducing the loss of property at sea the 'no cure-no pay' doctrine resulted in perverse outcomes like those seen in the Torrey Canyon incident, where volunteer salvors would protect the marine environment from the catastrophic consequences of would be oil spills, yet be left without remuneration and forced to bear their own costs. The development of the 1989 Salvage Convention and its contractual alternative SCOPIC provided a much needed exception to the longstanding 'no cure-no pay' rule by introducing a safety net provision to provide some compensation to cover the salvors expenses where they were not entitled to claim a reward. However, the negotiators of the 1989 Salvage Convention concluded that issues of a public law nature such as access to places of refuge and State interference in salvage operations were best dealt with by a separate convention. This dissertation submits that the public law aspects of salvage law remain unremedied and continue to discourage salvage companies from undertaking a crucial role in protecting the marine environment. As a result, a new convention is required to provide certainty as to the rights and obligations of parties involved in incidents posing a potential threat to the marine environment. Will it take another catastrophe such as the Prestige to prompt decision makers into taking action?

Download or read book The Law of Wreck written by Nicholas Gaskell and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 1024 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers wreck law as an integrated whole, going beyond the question of "removal" to include issues such as the ownership of wreck and how the law deals with the many commercial law problems arising after ships have been wrecked during the maritime commercial adventure. The book offers authoritative guidance on the genesis and meaning of the Nairobi Wreck Removal Convention 2007, and the interpretation of its often-complex provisions as they apply both to States trying to use its powers and to shipowners and liability insurers faced by its obligations. The authors explain the increasingly complex inter-relationship between linked areas of maritime law, including salvage, intervention and the overlapping international regimes which deal with pollution from oil, bunkers or hazardous and noxious substances. The book examines how a salvage operation transitions to wreck removal and links the liability provisions with the standard form international commercial contracts actually used by the industry to remove wrecks, eg BIMCO’s Wreckstage 2010, Wreckhire 2010 and Wreckfixed 2010. It also covers the complex requirements concerning the disposal of wrecks, including the latest recycling regulations applicable in 2019. The Law of Wreck will be of value to shipping industry professionals, insurers and legal practitioners, as well as academics and students of maritime law.

Book excerpt: Marine salvage is the process of recovering a ship, its cargo, or other property after a shipwreck or other maritime casualty. Salvage may encompass towing, re-floating a sunken or grounded vessel, or patching or repairing a ship. Today, protecting the environment from cargoes such as oil or other contaminants is often considered a high priority."Salvors" are seamen and engineers who carry out salvage to vessels that they do not own, and who are not members of the vessel's original crew. When salving large ships, they may use cranes, floating dry docks and divers to lift and repair submerged or grounded ships, preparing them to be towed by a tugboat. The goal of the salvage may be to repair the vessel at a harbour or dry dock, or to clear a channel for navigation. Salvage operations may also aim to prevent pollution or damage to the marine environment. Additionally, the vessel or valuable parts of the vessel or its cargo may be recovered for resale, or for scrap.All MARITIME HISTORY LIBRARY books are carefully selected by the MARITIME HISTORY FOUNDATION editorial board and represents titles by the world's most accomplished authors.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manual on Oil Pollution - Section V - Administrative Aspects of Oil Pollution Response, 2009 Edition. The Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC), at its thirty-third session, agreed that a new section V of the IMO Manual on Oil Pollution, dealing with administrative aspects and, in particular, with the roles and functions of entities which could be involved in an oil pollution emergency and its aftermath, should be developed. The present text is a revision of the first edition of the Manual, published in 1998, taking into account changes and new information on the topic since the original version. This section of the Manual on Oil Pollution is intended to provide the reader, in particular on scene commanders, lead agencies and others involved in the management of oil pollution response, with an appreciation of the various interests involved in an oil pollution emergency and its aftermath, as well as a general review of the international legal regimes governing limitation of liability and compensation for oil pollution damage. This section is not intended to provide an authorized or definitive commentary on the legal relationships between the various entities involved in an oil pollution emergency or an interpretation of relevant international conventions. The reference section includes sources of more comprehensive information on these subjects, and the reader is encouraged to make use of them if more detailed information is required.
Download or read book Maritime Environmental Protection Strategy written by Larry Koss and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATO naval ships operating in the 21st century will be expected to meet increasingly stringent environmental regulations. Special Working Group 12 (SWG/12) has a comprehensive shipboard pollution abatement program under way that will enable ships of the 21st century to be environmentally sound. The goal is for ships to operate worldwide with minimal potential for regulatory constraints, no inappropriate dependence on shore facilities, and no unreasonable costs imposed by environmental regulations. The basic strategy is to: design and operate ships to minimize air emissions, waste generation, and optimize waste management, and, where required, develop shipboard systems that will destroy or appropriately treat the wastes generated on board. If wastes are unavoidable and cannot be destroyed or sufficiently treated so that overboard discharges are not considered environmentally significant, they must be retained on board for recycling or treatment ashore.
