- Abstract
Several cases of oil pollution from ships happened in Vietnam, causing severe consequences. However, the compensation for ship-source oil pollution damage has not been really adequate and commensurate with the actual losses. It can be explained that, although Vietnam has participated in a number of relevant international treaties in this field, such as The Protocol of 1992 to the International Convention on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage (CLC 1992), International Convention on Civil Liability for Bunker Oil Pollution Damage, 2001 (Bunker 2001), the internal legalization has not been proper. Even if after joining CLC 1992, the legal system on compensation for oil pollution damage from ships at sea in Vietnam has been significantly improved in order to fully develop the legal system, it is indispensable to learn legal experience from other countries. Therefore, in order to address the limitations and find solutions in Vietnam’s current regulations, this paper focuses on analyzing and comparing the Vietnamese and Russian legislation on civil liability for ship-source oil pollution, based on the main contents of CLC 1992 (both Vietnam and Russia acceded to CLC 1992) such as party involved, limitation and compulsory insurance. The author will make some recommendations from the analysis and the comparison in order to improve the civil liability law for ship-source oil pollution in Vietnam.
