Probe On The Legal System Of Vessel Pollutions In Coastal Transportation

In our country, we have divided the law, which regulates marine pollution tort law relations, into two parts, pollution relations relating to other countries and internal pollution relations. Further to the former one, we have entered into 1992 international convention on civil liability for oil pollution damage and 2001 convention on civil liability for fuel damage, thus, we have the systematical and definite law to regulate. However, other than having the uniform law to regulate the latter one, we have several rules promulgated among different laws, which also makes our practices inconvenient, in the mean time, it also arises big arguments between application and specific paragraph when we use it to regulate our actions not only in the theory, but also in the practices. Therefore, this paper will analyze tow conventions hereinbefore, then study on our different rules, especially on tort law which just promulgated by our Legislative committee, also it will compare the conventions with our internal law, after that we find out the difference and advanced provisions.On the basis of which, this paper is divided into five parts except preface and conclusion.
