油污赔偿应考虑国情

Domestic oil pollution compensation should take into consideration the national characteristics

目前,我国国际航行船舶都已执行了国际公约的规定,但由于国际公约制定的赔偿责任限制较高,国内航行船舶执行起来有一定的困难,所以需要根据国情,先建立国内赔偿机制,然后逐步与国际接轨。建立船舶污染损害赔偿机制是个非常复杂的问题,涉及法律、财政、航运、保险、税收、石油、环保、船舶监督管理、海洋经济等诸多方面,因此,必须从国家总体利益出发,参照国际赔偿机制的做法,在各利益方中寻求一个合适的平衡点。

Presently. Chinese ships operating internationally have fully complied with the requirements of international conventions Due to the high limit of compensation specified by internahonal regulations it is very difficult to apply it to Chinese ships operating domestically. Therefore, it＇s necessary first to establish a domestic compensation regime and then to meet the international regulations on a gradual basis Establishing a liabillty compensation regime for pollution from ships is very complicated, which involves many aspects such as law, finance, shipping, insurance, taxation, oil, environment protection, ship＇s monitoring and control, ocean economy, etc..So, a balance point should be sought among interested parties by looking at the overall interest of the country and making reference to the established international practices.
