Claims submission office opens in Singapore for Marine Honour oil spill

Whilst the shipowner is liable for damages, their liability is capped.

A joint Claims Submission Office (CSO) has opened in Singapore to handle compensation claims arising from the Marine Honour oil spill on 14 June.

Operated by the International Oil Pollution Compensation Funds (IOPC Funds) and British Marine, the CSO will assist individuals and organisations affected by the pollution damage.

Singaporean law, specifically the 1992 Civil Liability Convention (CLC) and Fund Convention, governs the incident.

Whilst the shipowner is liable for damages, their liability is capped. If claims exceed this limit, the 1992 Fund will provide compensation.

Given the expected claims, the shipowner has invoked their right to limit liability.

The IOPC Funds and British Marine have partnered to establish the CSO and offer support to claimants.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
