Oil Spill Liability

The book progresses systematically, first introducing fundamental legal concepts related to maritime and environmental law. It then delves into the assessment of environmental damages, both economic and non-economic. A key argument is that a robust system of oil spill liability incentivizes responsible behavior among oil companies. It analyzes international agreements and conventions, advocating for proactive, legally incentivized approaches combined with technological innovation. This comprehensive analysis makes the book invaluable for policymakers, environmental advocates, and industry stakeholders seeking a deeper understanding of oil spill liability and its implications for environmental stewardship and risk management.
