Subjects
Marine pollution--Law and legislation, Shipping--Environmental aspects, Liability for oil pollution damages, Environmental law, International, Oil pollution of the sea--Law and legislation
Abstract

From the time it was first published in 1998, Shipping and the Environment has been the leading text on international and US law and practice in this field. Written by renowned legal and insurance practitioners with over 100 years of combined specialist experience, including first-hand knowledge of many major incidents, it is not only a comprehensive reference work but an abundant source of introductory material and practical insights, all explained with a clarity appreciated by lawyers and non-lawyers alike in a broad international readership. While updating its core subjects of pollution from ships, wreck removal and dumping at sea, this enlarged text extends into other modern areas including pollution from offshore operations after Deepwater Horizon, plastics released into the sea, recycling of vessels, polar operations, and the fast-changing restrictions on carbon emissions from ships, as well as safety threats such as cyberattacks, terrorism and modern forms of piracy.With a highly readable introductory chapter amounting to a book within a book, this is a volume of great importance to all whose work or studies are concerned with marine environmental affairs, whether in government, international bodies, industry, technical organizations, the professions, environmental NGOs, the academic world or other walks of life.

4. Unbalanced indemnities : a comparative analysis of risk allocation in oilfield service contracts in Malaysia, the UK and USA

Abstract

Oil and gas projects are risky ventures. As a result, the contractual allocation of liabilities between the project parties becomes an issue of paramount importance. The allocation of their respective shares of liability in accidents is typically carried out under standard industry contracts which have been established over many years. However, as a consequence of the private and government litigation arising from the Macondo oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010 as well as revised perceptions of risk exposure, evidence suggests that operators generally are seeking to modify the established approach to liability allocation through individual contract negotiations with contractors. This scenario has significant and potentially adverse financial implications for the contractors and for the long-term competitiveness and sustainability of the industry. This work focusses in particular upon the law of Malaysia. It will argue that there is a need to develop a legal mechanism that will achieve a fair distribution of risk between operators and contractors ("a balanced risk allocation mechanism"). This research considers the viability of having a balanced legal mechanism in Malaysia. In so doing, it will draw on the US and UK legal practice on risk allocation and indemnity and hold harmless clauses in oilfield service contracts. Malaysia does not have any specific indemnity law and legal mechanism to govern liability and the risk allocation between operators and contractors in oilfield service contracts. Since Malaysia is a Commonwealth country, it is relevant to make reference to the UK legal practice in this matter. Moreover, Malaysia is also a common law jurisdiction, which also shows why it is appropriate to make reference to the UK legal practice. In the same vein, some US states have implemented Oilfield Anti-Indemnity Acts such as Texas, Louisiana, Wyoming and New Mexico. This research will focus on two states in particular; Texas and Louisiana. These states long experience of oil and gas operations means it is sensible to have regard to them. This research will conduct a comparative analysis of the legal practice in the UK and the US with regards to the mechanism for controlling unfair risk allocation and imbalanced indemnity and hold harmless clauses in oilfield service contracts. The analysis of this issue will consider the issues pertaining to freedom of contract and inequality of bargaining power in the Malaysian regime. An empirical study will be conducted to the Malaysian oil and gas industry to investigate this problem. This research will examine the legal mechanisms regulating indemnity and hold harmless clauses as applied by the UK oil and gas industry in the North Sea through statutory and judicial control. This research will also investigate the possibility of applying such mechanisms in Malaysia in a manner consistent with the current Malaysian laws. This will be done through a comparison of the standard contractual provisions used in the offshore petroleum industry in the United Kingdom Continental Shelf and the contractual provisions used in the Malaysian industry. The comparison will consider issues pertaining to contract law (and a little of the tort law regime) in Malaysia. This research will examine the application of the knock-for-knock indemnity regime as practised in the UK. It will also examine the feasibility of implementing the Industry of Mutual Hold Harmless Deed ("IMHH") in the Malaysian oil and gas industry. Currently, the IMHH applies to the UK's territory of the North Sea and the Irish Sea. It was created to support and effectively manage the inherent risks in offshore activities in the oil and gas industry. The IMHH works on the basis that a company is considerably in a better position to protect its own people and equipment. Therefore, the company will indemnify and insure its own people and equipment. In this regard, companies are more certain of the risks they must insure. This practice could avoid multiple insurance policies on the same risk. However, it is important to note that the IMHH does not cover an individual contract. Hence, the original IMHH model would be ineffective to an indemnity clause between operators and contractors under one individual contract. Thus, some modification of the IMHH model should be made in order to accommodate such circumstances. Lastly, this research will also examine the viability of enacting an Anti-Indemnity Act in Malaysia. Several states in the US place restrictions on oilfield service contracts with indemnity clauses. As mentioned earlier, this research will focus on two US states, namely Texas law and Louisiana law. These laws were designed to prevent large oil companies and oilfield operators demanding their contractors indemnify them not only against negligence on the part of the contractor, but also any possible negligence of third parties, including their own. The methodology employed in this research will be a combination of empirical, doctrinal and comparative analysis which will be carried out in a descriptive, analytical and prescriptive manner.

Abstract

This article charts the application and development of the Polluter-Pays Principle (PPP) in one sphere of international law (civil liability for accidental marine oil pollution); a liability regime, very much grounded in its own traditions, which often interacts uncomfortably with national and regional law. The article explores the application of the principle at international, regional and national levels, using the demise of the vessels 'Erika' and 'Prestige' and the case law flowing from the subsequent environmental disasters to illustrate how the principle has developed in this area of international law and how this has the potential to influence its development in other jurisdictions.

Abstract

The oil industry is nowadays of vital importance for industrialized and developing countries. However, oil transportation continues to be a highly risky activity, both for the actors involved in its production and exchange and for the rest of society, producing enormous negative externalities. This article delves into the international system of liability and compensation for oil pollution damage (1992 CLC/CF) from the perspective of New Institutional Economics, evaluates its operation in practice across countries and its evolution over time. It reveals substantial heterogeneity in terms of performance across nations and the main drivers and obstacles to its transformation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

40. The Impact of Choice-of-Law Rules in Cross-Border Pollution Damage Caused by Petroleum Spills from Offshore Rigs and Installations: The Case of the Barents Sea.

Abstract

The article examines the impact of choice-of-law rules in cross-border pollution damage caused by petroleum spills from offshore rigs and installations in the Barents Sea. Norway and Russia share the Barents Sea, and the ocean currents go from West to East. Therefore, the article examines the impact of an oil spill from a Norwegian licensee on the Norwegian side of the Barents Sea on a Russian party harmed by the spill on the Russian side of the Barents Sea. The article shows the procedural hurdles a Russian harmed party would need to jump in order to access Norwegian courts. The question of venue is clear. Lex loci damni is the principle enacted in the Norwegian Petroleum Act. It contains a unilateral extension of protection in delict law to Norwegian interests harmed in Russia, which is not extended to injured Russian parties harmed within the Russian jurisdiction, for situations where the source of harm is located on the Norwegian side of the Barents Sea. An injured Russian party forced to pursue a legal claim against a Norwegian licensee without assets in Russia may receive no compensation because no agreement exists between Norway and Russia regarding recognition and enforcement of foreign court judgments.

Abstract

This article explores the relation between issue politicization and crisis-induced learning by the EU. We performed a political claims analysis on the political response to the four major oil spill disasters that have occurred in European waters since 1993. Political claims that we observed in three arenas (mass media, national parliaments, and the European Parliament) were compared with recommendations in post-crisis evaluation reports and the EU's legislative responses. For all three political arenas our findings indicate that politicization of issues either promotes or impedes crisis-induced EU learning, which points to the existence of determining intervening factors. EU legislation that is adopted in response to oil spill disasters appears to a large extent grounded in crisis evaluation reports. Characteristics of crisis evaluation reports, especially the degree of international focus, seem to offer a more plausible explanation for variance in crisis-induced learning outcomes than politicization.
