One of the key goals of this legal treatise is to undertake a painstaking textual anatomy of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 to help academics, lawyers, judges, and students navigate its recondite provisions with relative ease. This treatise consists of eighteen chapters. Chapter one discusses the scope of the Oil Pollution Act 1990. Chapter two analyzes the defenses to liability. Chapter three examines the procedures for asserting claims against a responsible party. Chapter four explores removal costs under OPA. Chapters five, six and seven dwell on issues relating to damages, recovery of interest, and limitation of liability respectively. Chapters eight and nine of this treatise focus on the effect of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 on the insurance structure for oil pollution in US and international waters. The two chapters briefly discuss the financial responsibility requirements and the international oil pollution regimes as they relate to marine insurance. Chapter ten discusses contribution, indemnity and third part liability. Chapters eleven, twelve and thirteen examine the National Pollution Funds Center's Oil spill liability Trust funds, recovery by foreign claimants, as well as jurisdictional and procedural issues respectively. Chapters fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen comprehensively analyze the non-preemption clause, as well as the interaction between OPA and its predecessor statutes dealing with oil and other pollutants, as well as time limitations respectively.The overall analysis undertaken in this treatise would be helpful to governments at all levels (domestic & foreign), and also to the maritime & transportation, environmental, oil & gas, energy, insurance, banking & financial services, real estate, and hospitality industries. This treatise attempts an extensive textual analysis of the compensation and liability sub-chapter of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA). This treatise also includes an extensive analysis of OPA jurisprudence and non-OPA jurisprudence construing pre-OPA statutes regulating oil and hazardous substance pollution. Its comprehensive analysis of non-OPA jurisprudence would provide guidance to academics, lawyers, judges, students and several business industries in their bid to construe the intricate provisions of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990. The author of this treatise has reproduced the relevant sections of OPA, at the beginning of each discussion of the most important sections of the OPA.

This report summarizes provisions of selected legislation -- enacted and proposed -- that address oil spill policy issues raised after the April 20, 2010, explosion and resulting oil spill at the Deepwater Horizon drilling platform in the Gulf of Mexico. The 2010 Gulf oil spill has generated considerable interest in oil spill issues. The House of Rep. has conducted at least 33 hearings in 10 committees. The Senate has conducted at least 30 hearings in eight committees. Members have introduced over 150 legislative proposals that have included one or more provisions that would affect oil spill policy.

This remarkable book - the first in-depth examination of the civil liability regime for marine oil pollution damage from a law and economics perspective - examines the efficiency and effectiveness of the regime, with particular attention to whether it is in fact designed in the public interest or merely a distribution of risks and costs among interested parties. The question is asked: does the liability system give the potential polluter incentives to take precautionary measures to avoid pollution or to reduce the possibility of pollution? The international regime on civil liability for marine oil pollution rests on the International Convention on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage (CLC) and the International Convention on the Establishment of an International Fund for Compensation for Oil Pollution Damage (Fund Convention). However, the world's biggest oil consumer and importer - the United States - has ratified neither, preferring its own Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA), and China - currently the world's second oil-consuming country - has not ratified the Fund Convention. Thus it is reasonable to compare the three regimes - international, US, and China - as such a comparative study may reveal some advantages or disadvantages among the three systems. Among the issues raised and tackled head-on by the author are the following: whether the contents of international conventions can be considered as the result of the influence of the various interest groups involve; overview of the regulations of marine pollution; technical standards, rules for operation, professional criteria; to what extent a state may take action against trans-boundary polluting activities; what liability a state may incur for non-action or non-effective action; significance for liability of the charter-party, generally considered the evidence of the hire of a ship, and the bill of lading, considered the evidence of the contract of carriage of goods by sea; the crucial role of the so-called 'International Group' of 13 Protection and Indemnity (P and I) Clubs, non-profit organizations specializing in liability insurance; the main international players - the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the Comit? Maritime International (CMI), and industry organizations such as INTERTANKO and the Oil Companies International Marine Forum (OCIMF); the particular regime on offshore facility pollution liability in the United States; port state control; criminal liability; and EU and other regional initiatives. In addition, a detailed study of the Erika case reveals some of the rationale for many of the persistent features of marine pollution liability regimes. The well-thought-out legal and economic analysis provided in this book, along with its clearly stated policy recommendations and constructive perspectives for future development of the liability system, will be immeasurably valuable to lawyers and policymakers active in this highly visible area of international law.
