Description

I INTRODUCTION The grounding of the bulk carrier Pasha Bulker on Nobbys beach, Newcastle in June 2007 has again highlighted the risk from shipping posed to Australia's extensive and environmentally fragile coastline. (1) Whilst a pollution incident was averted in this case, spills from shipping in other states, such as the Nakhodka spill off Japan in 1997, (2) the Prestige spill off France in 1999, (3) the Erika spill off Spain in 2003 (4) and the Hebei Spirit spill of South Korea in 2007, (5) have required the constant monitoring and updating of the international regulatory regimes designed to prevent such incidents occurring and to provide compensation when they nevertheless do occur. Two recent additions to this international regulatory system are the Protocol on the Establishment of a Supplementary Fund for Oil Pollution Damage, 2003 (6) and the International Convention on Civil Liability for Bunker Oil Pollution Damage 2001. (7) In 2008, Australia gave effect to these instruments, enacting the Supplementary Fund Protocol via the Protection of the Sea Legislation Amendment Act 2008 (Cth), (8) while the Bunker Oil Convention is given effect through the Protection of the Sea (Civil Liability for Bunker Oil Pollution Damage) Act 2008 (Cth), (9) and the Protection of the Sea (Civil Liability For Bunker Oil Pollution Damage) (Consequential Amendments) Act 2008 (Cth).
