Nairobi International Convention on the Removal of Wrecks, 2007: The Definitive Legal Resource for Maritime Professionals
This official publication provides the complete text of the Nairobi International Convention on the Removal of Wrecks, 2007, a critical international agreement that establishes the legal framework for addressing hazardous wrecks in coastal and territorial waters. Adopted on May 18, 2007, the Convention equips states with the tools to remove—or require the removal of—wrecks that pose risks to navigation safety, marine environments, or coastal infrastructure. It includes the Final Act of the International Conference, the Convention text, and three resolutions, making it an all-in-one resource for compliance, legal reference, and operational planning.

Comprehensive Legal and Operational Guidelines
The Convention introduces standardized procedures for reporting, locating, and marking wrecks, ensuring timely and effective responses. It defines hazard assessment criteria, including environmental damage, and outlines measures to facilitate wreck removal. A key provision is the strict liability of the registered shipowner, who must bear the costs of locating, marking, and removing wrecks. To guarantee financial responsibility, the Convention mandates that shipowners maintain compulsory insurance or financial security, protecting states from incurring these expenses. These provisions enhance maritime safety while promoting accountability and environmental protection.
