Australia New South Wales pollution regulations<\/h4>\n

P&I cover<\/span><\/p>\n

All vessels are required to have insurance cover for oil spills. If evidence of insurance is not provided on demand such as a P&I entry certificate, the master and owner are automatically guilty of an offence and may be fined up to A$55,000\/US$27,000 for the master and A$110,000\/YUS$55,000 for the owner.<\/p>\n

It is important for owners to provide on the vessel an original P&I entry certificate on board the vessel ‘prior’ to the vessel entering Australian waters. A copy of the P&I certificate may not be acceptable and it is useful for the P&I certificate to state the limit of liability for oil pollution claims.<\/p>\n

It is also important to be aware that if owners and masters are fined due to not being able to provide sufficient evidence of oil pollution cover such as a P&I entry certificate, such fines would not be covered under the P&I cover on the basis such a requirement ought to be well known to the owner and non compliance is attributable to lack of owner’s personal diligence.<\/p>\n

Increased fines and responsibility for spill<\/span><\/p>\n

On 1 November 2002 the New South Wales State Government confirmed maximum fines for oil pollution are increased to A$500,000\/US$250,000 for individuals and A$10\/us$5 million for corporations.<\/p>\n

If environmental damage is caused, additional fines can be sought.<\/p>\n

Strict liability is imposed on owners, master and crew.<\/p>\n
