A comprehensive reference work for shipping and environmental lawyers and specialists The carriage of crude oil by sea is commonly associated with the disastrous effects of spills. Major spills include those from the Torrey Canyon, the Amoco Cadiz, the Exxon Valdez, the Haven, the Aegean Sea, the Braer and the Sea Empress. As these and other spills have indicated, the resultant pollution damage can take various forms and the resolution of ensuing disputes can be difficult and protracted. This is a detailed and thorough analysis of the law relating to liability and compensation for oil pollution damage caused by ships and covers legal issues which fall within the ambit of admiralty law and practice, international and domestic environmental law and the law relating to marine insurance. In particular, Oil Pollution at Sea: identifies the parties to litigation; details the range of remedies available and their quantification, examines relevant decisions of the IOPC Fund; analyses the limitation of liability and compensation; discusses rights and liabilities of salvors and insurers, and highlights jurisdictional issues which may arise.

The International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships' Ballast Water and Sediments, 2004 (BWM Convention), is concerned with preventing, minimizing and ultimately eliminating the risks to the environment, human health, property and resources arising from the transfer of harmful aquatic organisms and pathogens, through the control and management of ships' ballast water and sediments. The BWM Convention also aims to avoid unwanted side-effects from that control and encourages developments in related knowledge and technology. The 2018 consolidated edition aims to provide an easy and comprehensive reference to the up-to-date provisions and unified interpretation of articles and annex of the BWM Convention
