Navigate Oil Pollution Liability with Confidence
This digital publication delivers the complete legal framework governing civil liability for oil pollution damage, offering maritime professionals immediate access to the 1992 Protocols that revised the foundational 1969 Civil Liability Convention.

The 119-page e-book contains the full consolidated texts of both the 1992 Civil Liability Convention and the 1992 Fund Convention, along with all five resolutions adopted during the landmark 1992 conference.
