On 13 April, a working group led by Denmark and Indonesia met in the IMO to consider the need to regulate the issue of transboundary oil pollution.
33 countries and a number of international organisations have just met at the IMO headquarters in London under the chairmanship of Denmark and Indonesia.
On this occasion, the non-existing regulations on transboundary oil pollution damage resulting from offshore activities were considered, and this has resulted in the drafting of guidance that is expected to be presented to the IMO Legal Committee in the spring of 2016.
Resistance has prevented a Convention
On several occasions, Denmark and Indonesia have tried to make the IMO undertake to develop an international convention in this area, but resistance from a number of major oil producing countries have made this impossible until now.
The IMO Legal Committee has instead held the view that the issue was more suitable for regulation by means of regional and bilateral agreements. Therefore, the Committee has supported the development of guidance on the conclusion of such agreements.
