1992 Fund Claims Manual October 2016 Edition

2.1 WHO CAN MAKE A CLAIM?

2.1.1 Anyone who has suffered pollution damage in a State that is Party
to the 1992 Conventions may make a claim for compensation. If the

damage is caused in a State that is only Party to the 1992 Civil Liability
Convention, claims can only be made against the shipowner and his
insurer. Claims for damage in States that are Parties to both the 1992

Civil Liability Convention and the 1992 Fund Convention, however, may
be made against the shipowner and his insurer and the 1992 Fund.

As mentioned earlier, lists of States Parties to these Conventions and
to the Supplementary Fund Protocol may be obtained from the Fund
18
Secretariat or from the Organisation’s website.
