This Bill further serves to ensure that those victims of oil pollution have recourse to the enhanced levels of international compensation payments. This legislation is important as we must strive to ensure that casualties of oil pollution are able to access the increased level of compensation. I congratulate the Minister and his officials on the drafting of this amendment Bill, which will further increase the amount of compensation payable to victims. I am also happy to hear that a review of the system is under way and a protocol to the fund convention to establish a supplementary fund was adopted by the International Maritime Organisation in May.
