To help ensure prompt and adequate compensation in the Western Asia and Eastern Europe, a regional IMO workshop is currently taking place in Batumi, Georgia. The workshop started on September 11 and will conclude on September 14.
IMO’s liability and compensation regime covers issues such as pollution incidents, wreck removal, carriage of passengers and luggage, providing protection in case of a maritime incident. However, for these rules and regulations to be effective, countries need to ratify and implement them.
