… Says IOPC Fund Implementation Om Track<\/p>\n

\"\"Director General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, Dr Bashir Jamoh has restated the Agency\u2019s commitment to ensuring effective pollution prevention and control in the Nigerian Maritime domain in order to continue to create\u00a0an\u00a0enabling environment for the sector to thrive.<\/p>\n

Dr Jamoh who made this assertion while speaking at the 7th meeting of the National Standing Committee on International Oil Pollution Compensation (IOPC) Fund implementation in Nigeria emphasized the Agency\u2019s commitment to the effective implementation of the IOPC Fund regime by ensuring optimal utilization of the instrument in the country.<\/p>\n

The DG who was represented by the Agency\u2019s Director Marine Environment Management Department, Mrs.\u00a0Aishatu A.\u00a0Jidda urged all stakeholders to abide by the provisions of all enabling international\u00a0instruments\u00a0as provided for by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) adding that \u00a0the Convention for Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage 1992 and the International Convention on Establishment of an International Fund for Compensation for Oil Damage 1992 which Nigeria is signatory to remains relevant to the growth and development of the Nigerian maritime sector.<\/p>\n

\u201cNigeria has domesticated these Conventions and we are qualified to reap the benefits therein. We at NIMASA have a register for contributing oil receivers in Nigeria. We urge all stakeholders to play their part to ensure reports emanating from Nigeria are in line with acceptable standards\u201d. \u201cIt is good we have a record as a contributing oil receiver and because it is our obligation to ensure we give the IOPC Fund, the names of all contributing oil receivers in Nigeria. NIMASA is committed to ensuring Nigerians enjoy all the benefits from being signatory to these International Conventions.\u201d The DG said.<\/p>\n

Dr Jamoh reaffirmed the importance of the conventions to Nigeria\u2019s Marine Environment Management. He said\u00a0the\u00a0facilitation of domestication by NIMASA led to the constitution of the National Standing Committee (NSC) on IOPC Fund in September 2004 and five other Sub-Committees in October 2016, with a mandate to ensure seamless implementation of both conventions.<\/p>\n

The five subcommittees include the Sub-Committee on Fish Stock\/Fisheries; Sub-Committee on Identification of Receivers of Contributing Oil; Sub-Committee on Compilation of Oil Report; Sub-Committee on Claims Handling and Sub-Committee on Pricing Index.<\/p>
