Shipping Coordinating Committee,

International Maritime Organization

(IMO) Legal Committee; Meeting

The U.S. Shipping Coordinating

Committee (SHC) will conduct an open

meeting at 1:00 p.m., on Thursday,

March 16, 1995, in Room 2415 of U.S.

Coast Guard Headquarters, 2100 Second

Street, SW., Washington, DC. The

purpose of this meeting is to prepare for

the 72nd Session of the International

Maritime Organization (IMO) Legal

Committee, to be held April 3–7, 1995,

and to report on the results of the

Seventh Session of the Joint

Intergovernmental Group of Experts

(JIGE VII), held December 5–9, 1994, in

Geneva.

To facilitate the attendance of those

participants who may be interested in

only certain aspects of the public

meeting, the first subject addressed will

be the draft International Convention on

Liability and Compensation for Damage

in Connection with the Carriage of

Hazardous and Noxious Substances by

Sea (HNS Convention). The second

major subject, which will be considered

at approximately 2:30 p.m., will be

possible revisions to the 1976

Convention on Limitation of Liability

for Maritime Claims (’76 LLMC). The

last major subject, which will be

considered at approximately 3:00 p.m.,

will be the JIGE negotiations regarding

possible revisions to the International

Convention of the Unification of Certain

Rules Related to the Arrest of Ships,

1952 (1952 Arrest Convention).

The Current draft of the HNS

Convention imposes strict liability upon

the shipowner with an additional

international fund (second-tier fund)

modeled after the International Oil

Pollution Compensation Fund. The draft

HNS Convention provides

compensation for environmental

damage as well as personal injury and

property damage from a broad range of

substances. At the 71st Session, the

Legal Committee finalized decisions on

several issues regarding the draft HNS

Convention and agreed in principal on

several others. However, other

important questions remain to be

resolved. Additionally, it is expected

that the 72nd Session of Legal

Committee will complete a final review

of the draft articles of the HNS

Convention, making it the last session

for substantive work on the Convention

before a scheduled 1996 Diplomatic

Conference. The views of the public are

requested.

The Legal Committee resumed

deliberations on the ’76 LLMC at the

71st Session. Several decisions were

made, and discussions centered on a

draft protocol which provides for raising

the limits of liability, changes made

necessary by a decision to link the HNS

Convention to other limitation of

liability regimes, and a streamlined tacit

amendment procedure. Work will

continue at the 72nd session. Although

the United States has not ratified the ’76

LLMC, interests within the United

States—such as owners of foreign flag

vessels and passengers on foreign flag

vessels—may be affected by changes to

the Convention. The views of the public

are requested.

Several important decisions were

made at JIGE VII regarding possible

revisions to the 1952 Arrest Convention.

The principle focus of JIGE VII was as

follows: (1) Expanding of the list of

maritime claims, consistent with the

changes in the 1993 Maritime Liens and

Mortgages Convention, for which a

vessel may be arrested; (2) whether

personal liability of the owner is a

prerequisite to arrest, particularly when

the claim is secured by a maritime lien;

(3) whether the arrest should give the

respective arresting court jurisdiction to

decide the merits of the case; and (4) the

extent to which the Convention should

be applied to vessels of non-contracting

states. The United States has not ratified

the 1952 Arrest Convention. However,

the interests of United States owners of

foreign flag vessels, cargo owners, and

maritime claimants and lienholders may

be affected by changes to the

Convention. The views of the public are

requested.

Member of the public are invited to

attend the SHC meeting, up to the

seating capacity of the room. For further

information or to submit views
