Convenção Bunker Entrará em Vigor a 21 de Novembro de 2008 com a Ascensão de Serra Leoa

"Bunker spills convention: salvors seek assurances IMO law will treat all ships carrying bunker fuel as a tanker - despite risks of taking fuel off ailing ships in some operations. THE International Maritime Organization’s Bunker Spills Convention will enter into force on November 21 this year. Accession by Sierra Leone fulfilled the entry-into-force conditions of this new international instrument (ratification by 18 states, including five states with ships whose combined gross tonnage is not less than one million)".
