Submission to the IMO Legal Committee - Joint IMO/ILO Ad Hoc Expert Working Group on Liability and Compensation regarding Claims for Death, Personal Injury and Abandonment of Seafarers
This document outlines the position of the International Group that the draft
text of Appendix II to the report of the ninth session of the Working
Group (see annex to document LEG 96/4/1) does not accurately
reflect the principle that the financial security envisaged in the draft
text is restricted to financial security for contractual compensation,
that is compensation/payments due to a seafarer or his dependants
following his death, personal injury or illness as provided for under
his employment contract, collective bargaining agreement or other
employment agreement.
