Regulatory framework in the shipping industry Sample Clauses

Regulatory framework in the shipping industry. The shipping industry is regulated by a number of governmental, quasi-governmental and recognised organisations eg classification societies, flag state, port state, regional & international agreement/unions legislation such as EU, charter party clauses and international regulating bodies eg IMO. A large number of international conventions and national, state and local laws and regulations inter alia related to oil pollution, emission control, environmental protection, safety, inspections, governmental permissions, labour law, sanctions, competition law, and taxation, in force in the countries in which the Group's vessels operate or are registered significantly affect or could significantly the ownership and operation of the Group's vessels. Oil Pollution Oil pollution is one of the most conspicuous forms of damage to the marine environment. Oil enters the seas not only as a result of oil tanker or oil rig disasters, but also, and primarily, from diffuse sources, such as leaks during oil extraction, illegal tank-cleaning operations at sea, or discharges into the rivers which are then carried into the sea. The designation of marine protected areas, increased controls and the use of double hull tankers are some of the measures now being deployed in an effort to curb marine oil pollution. The international community has responded to the liability and threat of oil spills posed by huge vessels by passing several "statutes," namely the Civil Liability Convention of 1969, coupled with the complementary 1992 international protocols, (collectively "CLCs"), and the Oil Pollution Act of 19905 ("OPA") in the U.S. and many other conventions or acts.
