Claims submission office opens in Singapore for Marine Honour oil spill

Whilst the shipowner is liable for damages, their liability is capped.

A joint Claims Submission Office (CSO) has opened in Singapore to handle compensation claims arising from the Marine Honour oil spill on 14 June.

Operated by the International Oil Pollution Compensation Funds (IOPC Funds) and British Marine, the CSO will assist individuals and organisations affected by the pollution damage.

Singaporean law, specifically the 1992 Civil Liability Convention (CLC) and Fund Convention, governs the incident.

Whilst the shipowner is liable for damages, their liability is capped. If claims exceed this limit, the 1992 Fund will provide compensation.

Given the expected claims, the shipowner has invoked their right to limit liability.

The IOPC Funds and British Marine have partnered to establish the CSO and offer support to claimants.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
