船舶油污事故中环境损害的赔偿范围

About the Compensation Scope in the Environmental Pollution Resulted from Marine Oil Spills

国际油污赔偿机制下对可予赔偿的“环境损害”是明确的。我国对船舶溢油污染损害的民事赔偿在《民法通则》、《海商法》、《环境保护法》、《海洋环境保护法》中都包含了相关方面的法律规定。结合国内外法律规定,依据平等、国际公约优先、与国际接轨等原则,我国船舶溢油事故中海洋环境损害的赔偿范围应限定在《1992责任公约》所限定的“实际已采取或行将采取的合理复原措施的费用”。

The term “environmental hazards” is clearly defined under the compensation mechanism of international marine oil pollution. Certain aspects of legal regulations are incorporated in the civil compensation in General Principles of the Civil Law, China Maritime Law, Environmental Protection Law and Marine Environmental Protection Law concerning the oil pollution hazards. In combination with the legal regulations home and abroad and in accordance with the principles of equality, priority of international conventions, the compensation scope of the marine environmental hazards incurred by the spill accidents shall be confined within the “costs incurred by the reasonable recovery measures taken or to be taken” regulated by the International Convention on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution, 1992.
