Statute overview

About this statute

This article bars damage claims for ship fuel oil pollution against salvage operators acting with the owner’s consent or under a competent public authority’s instructions, people taking preventive measures, and their employees or agents, subject to a stated exception. Maritime authorities may demand the certificate during ship dispatch and may start sanctioning proceedings, immobilize infringing ships, and take spill-prevention measures. Owners of registered ships over 1,000 gross tons must buy insurance or financial security covering pollution liability; Spanish ships in that class and certain foreign ships cannot sail, enter, or leave port unless they carry the required valid certificate. This provision excludes certain state vessels and pollution-damage claims from the decree’s application, with a stated exception for states that have decided to apply the 2001 Fuel Convention. This article defines key terms used in the decree.
